Wash the cucumber thoroughly and pat it dry.
Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, slice the cucumber lengthwise into thin ribbons, about 1-2mm thick.
In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese with chopped fresh dill, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Lay one cucumber ribbon flat on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cucumber ribbon.
Place a small piece of smoked salmon on top of the cream cheese, leaving a small border at the edge of the cucumber for easy rolling.
Carefully roll the cucumber ribbon up tightly from one end to the other, creating a small roll.
Secure the roll with a toothpick if needed, or place seam-side down on a serving plate to hold its shape.
Repeat the process with the remaining cucumber ribbons, cream cheese mixture, and smoked salmon.
Arrange the rolls on a plate and garnish with extra dill if desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
