For the salad, put bulgur wheat, boiling water, lemon juice and oil into a large bowl and stir gently. Immediately cover with a dish towel and set aside for 1 hour. Uncover and fluff with a fork.
Add zest, parsley, chives, onions, mint, salt and pepper and toss gently to combine. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour.Meanwhile, for salmon, whisk together 2 tablespoons of the oil, zest and juice, salt and pepper in a wide, shallow dish.

Remove salmon from marinade; discard remaining marinade. Arrange salmon on the grill, skin side up, and cook, flipping once, until golden brown on both sides and just cooked through, about 10 minutes total.
Transfer to a platter and set aside to let rest for 5 minutes.Stir together onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, remaining 1 tablespoon oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a medium bowl.
Serve salmon on a bed of tabbouleh salad with the tomato-cucumber mixture spooned over the top.
Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc
Salmon on the menu? Try pairing with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc. To decide on white or red, you should consider your seasoning and sauces. Chardonnay is a great friend to buttery, creamy dishes, while sauvignon blanc can complement herb or citrus-centric dishes. A light-bodied, low-tannin red such as the pinot noir goes great with broiled or grilled salmon. The Trentadue La Storia Chardonnay with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 20 dollars per bottle.
Trentadue La Storia Chardonnay
The 2014 Chardonnay, Sonoma Coast, is typical for the variety with aromas of apples, white peaches and citrus. With longer time in the glass nuanced aromas of nutmeg, slight toast and vanilla come to play along with suggestion of pineapple and ripe Meyer lemons. The mouth feel is crisp and restrained with clear minerality and purity of fruit. Rich, elegant and beautifully balanced.
