Instructions:
- Grate the zucchini using a coarse grater. Place the grated zucchini in a colander and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Allow it to sit for about 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
- After the 10 minutes, gather the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible and set the zucchini aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until slightly frothy.
- Add the olive oil and milk to the eggs, and whisk to combine.
- Gradually add the self-raising flour to the wet mixture, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Continue whisking until you have a smooth batter.
- Fold the grated zucchini into the batter.
- Chop the smoked salmon into small pieces and add them to the mixture.
- Finely chop the dill and fold it into the batter as well.
- Stir the mixture gently until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. If needed, add a small amount of additional olive oil to lightly coat the pan.
- Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter for each fritter into the hot skillet. Flatten them slightly with the back of the spoon to form even rounds.
- Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fritters are golden brown and cooked through. You may need to adjust the heat to avoid burning.
- Remove the fritters from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Serve the fritters warm, garnished with additional fresh dill if desired.
Tips:
- Make sure to squeeze out any excess water from the grated zucchini before adding it to the batter to avoid a runny mixture.
- You can finely chop the smoked salmon for a more even distribution throughout the fritters.
- Use a non-stick skillet and heat the oil well before cooking the fritters to ensure they form a nice, crispy crust.
- If you prefer gluten-free options, you can substitute the self-raising flour with a gluten-free version.
- Serve the fritters with a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream for added flavor.
