- Meanwhile, make the salsa. In a medium bowl combine the tomatoes, avocado, cucumber, scallions, chile, dill, oil, and vinegar and stir gently to mix well. Season to taste with salt and pepper and with a little sugar if needed.
- Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil on the stove and add the potatoes. Cook until tender, about 15 minutes. The timing will depend on the size of the potatoes; pierce with a fork to test for doneness. Drain and transfer to a bowl. Add the oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Keep warm until serving.
- Transfer the salmon to a serving platter and accompany with the salsa and potatoes. Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over the fish.
