In a small saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, granulated sugar, kosher salt, mustard seeds, black peppercorns, and bay leaf.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar and salt have dissolved. Let the mixture come to a gentle simmer, then remove from heat and allow it to cool to room temperature.
While the pickling liquid is cooling, thinly slice the red onion and roughly chop the fresh dill.
Layer half of the smoked salmon and red onion slices in a glass jar or airtight container. Scatter half of the dill over the top.
Repeat the layering with the remaining smoked salmon, red onion slices, and dill.
Once the pickling liquid has cooled, carefully pour it over the layered salmon and onions, ensuring everything is submerged.
Seal the jar or container and refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, remove the bay leaf, and enjoy the pickled smoked salmon as part of a dish, on crackers, or straight from the jar!
