Place the squash slices in a large skillet with 1/4 cup water and 1/2 tsp of the salt. Cover and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the squash is just tender, about 8–10 minutes. Drain in a colander, pressing gently with the back of a spoon to remove as much liquid as possible, then spread on a clean kitchen towel and pat dry.
