Trim the ends from each zucchini and halve them lengthwise. Using a spoon or melon baller, scoop out the flesh, leaving a 1/4-inch-thick shell. Reserve the scooped flesh. Brush the cut sides of the zucchini shells with 1 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with 1/4 tsp salt, then arrange them cut-side up in the prepared baking dish.
