Combine rinsed quinoa, water, and half the salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes. Spread the quinoa on a plate to cool.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, remaining salt, and black pepper.
Add the cooled quinoa, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion to the bowl. Fluff with a fork to coat. Gently flake the sardines into large pieces and fold them into the salad along with the chopped dill.
