In large bowl, whisk together yogurt, mustard, olive oil, honey, lemon zest and juice, salt, and pepper. Add pears, celery, parsley, and onion. Gently toss everything together until well combined.

In medium saucepan, place quinoa, a pinch of salt, and 1 3/4 cups (435 mL) water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, covered, until water has been absorbed and quinoa is tender, about 12 minutes. Remove from heat, let sit covered for 5 minutes, and then fluff with fork.

Preheat oven to 300 F (150 C). Season salmon with salt and pepper, and place skin-side down on parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake fish for 15 minutes, or until just barely cooked through in the thickest part of the flesh.

To make sauce, in blender container, place kefir, avocado, lemon juice, garlic, dill, and salt, and blend until smooth. Toss arugula with red wine vinegar and a pinch of salt.

Divide quinoa among 4 serving plates and top with arugula, salmon, and avocado sauce. Sprinkle chives overtop.
