Toss zucchini with salt. Let it sit for 10 minutes, then squeeze out excess liquid.

Mix zucchini, panko, flour, parsley, garlic, and pepper in a bowl.

Shape the mixture into 12 small patties.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook patties for 3–4 minutes per side, until crisp and golden.

Drain on a paper towel and serve warm.
