How do you feel about performance incentives?
This question aims to reveal what drove you to pursue this opportunity (furthering your career goals versus a higher salary). It serves to inform them of what keeps you motivated in your work. It also indicates the consistency and quality of work they might expect from you.
A nice salary isn't mutually exclusive with a rewarding work environment or an extraordinary team with great professional relationships. But suggesting money as a motivator in an interview will give them enough of a shadow of a doubt that you are in it for anything but the money.
Focus on how you want to further your career progression and being in a supportive and collaborative environment where you can grow, feel appreciated, and thrive.
