Crisp the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until golden, then drain on paper towels and crumble.

Thinly slice red onion and add to the bowl.

In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, dijon mustard, capers, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.

Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and toss gently to combine.

Layer the smoked salmon on top of the salad.

Sprinkle crumbled bacon over the salad and garnish with fresh dill.
