Grate the courgettes and potatoes, then squeeze in a cloth to remove excess water. Mix in a bowl with all the other fritter ingredients, except the butter and oil. Season with salt and pepper.

Heat the butter and oil in a frying pan on a high heat. Place spoonfuls of the mixture in the pan and cook for about 3 minutes on each side, until crisp and golden brown. Keep warm in a low oven while you prepare the cream.
Step 3
Mix the crème fraîche and yogurt in a bowl. Add the chopped herbs and capers and lemon zest, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Step 4
Place the fritters on a plate, put a spoonful of cream on each one and top with the salmon roe. Serve at once.
