Ingredients
2 pounds salmon fillet
1 ¼ cups bread crumbs (310 ml)

¾ cup chopped flat leaf parsley (180 ml)
2 ½ tablespoons maple syrup (37ml)
The zest of 2 lemons

Cut the salmon fillets into cubes and place into a food processor with a metal blade. Pulse gently until ground. Scrape the contents into a large bowl. Add shallots, parsley, bacon, lemon zest and maple syrup. Add breadcrumbs gradually while mixing until you reach the desired consistency.
Form mixture into 1-inch thick patties. Place on a plate, cover and refrigerate until ready to grill.
