Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Add the potatoes and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the cucumber-tomato salad. In a large bowl, combine the cucumber slices, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. In a small bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon olive oil, sugar, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the dressing over the salad, toss gently, and refrigerate until serving.
Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large bowl. Add the parsley, dill, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir gently to combine, being careful not to mash the potatoes. Set aside.
Season the salmon fillets with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through.
To serve, divide the salmon, potato salad, and cucumber-tomato salad among four plates. Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy your simple and wholesome summer supper!
