Wash and dry the cucumbers. Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, slice them lengthwise into thin strips, approximately 1/8 inch thick, and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, fresh dill, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.
Lay the cucumber strips flat on a clean surface and pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture over each cucumber strip.
Place a small piece of smoked salmon at one end of each cucumber strip.
Roll the cucumber tightly around the salmon and cream cheese mixture, starting from the salmon end.
Secure each roll with a toothpick or place seam-side down on a platter to hold its shape.
Repeat with the remaining cucumber strips, cream cheese mixture, and smoked salmon.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the roll to stay firm.
