FOR THE DRESSING

FOR THE SALAD

Make the dressing: Stir together the yogurt, dill, vinegar, salt and pepper. Refrigerate. Make the salad: Sprinkle salmon on both sides with oil, salt and pepper. Heat grill until very hot. Place salmon on the grill and cook, covered, until flaky, about 3½ minutes on each side. Transfer to a serving plate and allow to rest for at least 5 minutes. Carve into ½-inch slices. Place salmon in a bowl and toss with the dressing. Cover and refrigerate. Just before serving, peel cucumber and cut in half lengthwise. Using a small spoon, scrape down the center to remove seeds. Thinly slice. Mound salmon mixture in center of a large platter lined with lettuce leaves. Surround with cucumber, tomatoes, onions, and lemon slices. Garnish with additional dill if desired.
