Ingredients:

Serving

3 tbsp butter, divided
1 lb baby zucchini , halved lengthwise, each half cut lengthwise into 3 wedges
1 1/2 tsp chopped fresh lemon basil or regular basil
fleur de sel ( fine french sea salt)
18 zucchini squash blossoms

Directions:

Melt 1 tablespoon butter in heavy large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add zucchini; sauté until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Stir in basil. Season with fleur de sel. Transfer to plate. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in skillet. Add squash blossoms and cook until barely wilted and still bright orange, about 2 seconds per side. Arrange atop zucchini and serve.
