Directions:
Onion Compote:
Whisk together the vinegar, lemon juice, sugar, dill and 1/2 cup water until the sugar is dissolved; add the onions and chill, covered, for at least 3 hours.
Lemon Dill Dressing:
Beat the egg yolk with 1 tsp water in a blender until light yellow. With the motor running add half the oil in a steady stream. With the motor still running add first the vinegar and the remaining oil in a stream, then the sour cream, lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the mixture to a bowl, stir in the dill and chill, covered, until ready to serve.
Salmon:
Place fish on a 24 inch piece heavy-duty aluminum foil. Drizzle the oil and lemon juice over the fish and season with the salt. Wrap the foil securely around the fish and put the fish on the grill. Cover the grill and cook the fish for 20 to 30 minutes or until the fish is just cooked through. Drain the onions and serve each portion of salmon topped with some of the sauce and a mound of onions.
Garnish with capers and dill sprigs.
