Rinse the quinoa in a fine-mesh strainer under cold water. Combine the 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 the water is absorbed and grains show a white spiral. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
While the quinoa rests, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, remaining salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl. Dice the cucumber, halve the cherry tomatoes, and slice the avocado. Flake the smoked salmon.
Fluff the quinoa with a fork and transfer to a bowl. Drizzle a little of the lemon dressing over the quinoa and toss. Add the salmon, cucumber, tomatoes, and half the fresh dill to the remaining dressing and toss gently. Top the quinoa with the salmon mixture and sliced avocado, then scatter the rest of the dill over the top.
