Pan-Roasted Zucchini With Cilantro-Mint Gremolata

  1. Put zucchini, cut sides up, on a plate and sprinkle lightly with salt.
  2. Set aside for 15 to 20 minutes.
  3. Put cilantro in a small bowl with mint, garlic, lemon zest, and salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Toss with fingertips to evenly disperse; set aside.
  5. Pour olive oil in a saute pan large enough to hold zucchini in a single layer.
  6. Pat zucchini dry with paper towels and season lightly with pepper.
  7. Heat oil over medium-low.
  8. Add zucchini to pan, cut sides down, and cook until they are slightly soft but still hold their shape, as little as 5 minutes, adjusting heat if necessary to maintain a light golden color.
  9. Arrange zucchini on serving plate, browned sides up.
  10. Serve warm or at room temperature.
  11. Just before serving toss bread crumbs with cilantro-mint mixture and scatter over zucchini.
  12. Drizzle with additional extra virgin olive oil, if desired.
