Grate the zucchini on the large holes of a box grater. Transfer to a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth, sprinkle with 1/2 tsp of the kosher salt, and let sit for 10 minutes. Wring the towel firmly over the sink, squeezing out as much liquid as possible — the zucchini should feel nearly dry to the touch.
