- Cook the bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Evenly coat the salmon with the olive oil.
- Cook the salmon on the preheated grill with the skin side down for about 5 minutes before flipping and cooking on the other side until the skin can easily be lifted off the flesh, about 5 minutes more. Flip the salmon once more and continue cooking until the salmon flakes easily with a fork, another 2 to 3 minutes.
- Whisk the mayonnaise, dill, and lemon zest together in a small bowl; divide between 2 of the toasted bread slices. Top each with 1 portion of cooked salmon, 2 tomato slices, 2 bacon slices, 1 lettuce leaf, and a remaining slice of toasted bread.

Steps:
- Soak an untreated cedar plank (or planks) large enough to hold a side of salmon (5 to 7 inches wide and 16 to 20 inches long) in water, weighting it with something heavy, like a brick, so it stays submerged 30 minutes to 24 hours.

Let sit 5 minutes; serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:
- Mix together one-half cup of the dill, two tablespoons of the mustard and the vinegar. Spread the fish open and rub this mixture over the flesh. Close the fish up and secure the edge, using slender skewers or sewing it with heavy thread. Rub the skin of the fish with one tablepoon of the oil, cover loosely and allow to marinate in the refrigerator for one hour.
- Meanwhile prepare the sauce. Combine the remaining dill and mustard in a small mixing bowl. Beat in one-third cup olive oil, the lemon juice and sugar. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Preheat grill to very hot. Oil a fish basket large enough to hold the fish or oil your racks. If you do not have this equipment you can also use a well-oiled double-sheet of heavy-duty foil into which you have punched holes with a fork.
- Grill the fish 10 minutes on each side, or a little longer, depending on the intensiy of the heat. For best results, you should cook the fish with the grill covered for about half the cooking time. You will be able to turn the fish only once either by turning the basket or by lifting the fish off the rack with a couple of large spatulas. You can also turn it by just turning the foil package. Before turning it, brush some oil on the skin. After turning it, you may find that some of the skin has stuck to the grill despite your best efforts. Don't worry. The second side, which will be turned up for serving should brown nicely and not stick at all. The fish is done when a wooden skewer or toothpick inserted in the center meets little or no resistance. Do not overcook the fish.
- When the fish is done, place it on heavy-duty foil. Roll it onto a serving plate so the bottom side of the fish is on top. Remove the skewers or trussing and decorate with sprigs of dill. Serve the fish hot or at room temperature with the sauce on the side.

Tips:
- For the freshest salmon, buy it from a reputable fishmonger or market. Look for salmon that is firm to the touch and has a bright, vibrant color.
- If you're using frozen salmon, thaw it overnight in the refrigerator or under cold water for 30 minutes.
- To prevent the salmon from sticking to the grill, brush it with oil or cooking spray before cooking.
- Cook the salmon over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through. The salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve the salmon immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, grilled lemon slices, or a creamy dill sauce.
