Make the rice: add rice, water, and half of the olive oil in a pot and bring to a boil. Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Cook on low heat for 15 minutes, remove the pot from heat and let sit covered for 5 more minutes. Once done fluff with a fork. Add the rest of the olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, salt, lemon juice, and cilantro to the pot of rice and mix until incorporated.

Make the zucchini fritters: grate the zucchini using a cheese grater. Add grated zucchini to a bowl and sprinkle with salt. Let sit for 10 minutes. This will remove any excess liquid.
