Start by washing the cucumber thoroughly under cold water, then pat it dry with a clean towel.
Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, slice the cucumber into thin slices, about 1/8 inch thick. Set the slices aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, dried dill, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are fully combined and the mixture is smooth.
Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture onto each cucumber slice.
Take a slice of smoked salmon and place it on one end of the cream cheese-covered cucumber slice. Roll the cucumber slice, starting from the end with the salmon, until it forms a neat roll.
Secure the roll with a toothpick and place it on a serving platter.
Repeat the process with the remaining cucumber slices, cream cheese mixture, and smoked salmon.
Once all cucumber sandwiches are prepared, garnish each with a small sprig of fresh dill.
Serve immediately chilled or refrigerate until you are ready to serve.
