Steps:
- Heat oven to 400°F. In a bowl, combine tomatoes, zucchini, 1/2 onion, garlic, jalapeño, 1/4 teaspoon salt and oil; toss to coat.

In a second bowl, combine flour, cumin, baking powder and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add egg, remaining 1 tablespoon juice and 1/2 cup water; stir until smooth. Add corn and remaining 1/2 onion and 1/4 cup cilantro. Coat a large frying pan with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Form 1/4 cup corn mixture into a patty; repeat with remaining corn mixture to form 12 patties. Working in batches of 3 and coating pan with cooking spray as needed, cook patties, turning once, until brown, 5 to 8 minutes per side. Divide patties and salsa among 4 plates.

Steps:
- Preheat a deep fryer to 350˚F. Preheat the oven to 200˚F. Set a baking rack over a baking sheet. Beat the egg and buttermilk in a medium bowl until well blended. In a second bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and cayenne. Stir in the zucchini, corn and cilantro (or green onion). Add the flour mixture into the egg mixture and mix to create a thick batter. Working in batches, carefully drop heaping tablespoonfuls of the batter into the oil. Deep-fry until golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked fritters to the baking rack and keep warm in the oven until all the fritters are cooked. When all are cooked, arrange the fritters on a platter and serve with a bowl of the salsa alongside. Note: When the kernels are removed with a sharp knife, 1 medium cob of corn should yield the amount required for this recipe. BC made SalsaMan salsa is available in our Deli Department.

Tips:
- Use fresh corn for the best flavor. Fresh corn is sweeter and has a more tender texture than frozen or canned corn.
- Grate the corn kernels off the cob for a finer texture. This will help the fritters to hold together better.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the fritters tough.
- Heat the oil to medium-high before frying the fritters. This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
- Serve the fritters hot with your favorite dipping sauce. Spicy zucchini salsa is a great option.
Conclusion:
Corn fritters are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks. The spicy zucchini salsa adds a nice kick of flavor. These fritters are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
