Cut zucchini into 1/4 inch slices and lay them in layers out on a plate.

Step 2

Lightly sprinkle the cut zucchini slices with good quality sea salt before you add another layer.

Step 3

Leave them for 5-7 minutes so that they become well salted and slightly pickled.

In the mean time, put some flour onto a plate or a shallow bowl. Also whisk one egg into another shallow bowl and add a pinch of salt to the egg.

Step 5

Coat the zucchini slices with flour on both sides and set aside.

Step 6

Heat about 2 T of vegetable or olive oil in a large frying pan over medium high heat. Make an assembly line of the flour coated zucchinis -> beaten egg -> pan. Dip each floured zucchini piece into the egg, coat it fully and then put it in the frying pan.
