Ingredients

• 3 cups coarsely shredded zucchini
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup fresh bread crumbs
• 1 large egg
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
• 1 1/2 teaspoons seafood seasoning
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
• 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon butter

Instructions

1. Place grated zucchini in a colander; sprinkle with salt and let stand 30 minutes. Press with paper towels to remove as much liquid as possible; zucchini should be fairly dry and reduced to about 2 cups.
2. Mix egg, zucchini, bread crumbs, green onions, bell pepper, seafood seasoning, mustard, mayonnaise, and red pepper flakes in a large bowl. Form into 8 patties, 3 to 4 inches across.
3. Heat oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry patties until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
