Wash the cucumber thoroughly. Using a vegetable peeler or mandoline, slice the cucumber lengthwise into thin strips. Discard the first slice of skin and try to make each strip as uniform as possible for easy rolling.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, freshly chopped dill, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Use a fork or spatula to mix until smooth and well blended.
Lay a cucumber strip flat on a cutting board. Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the surface of the cucumber strip using a butter knife or offset spatula.
Place a small piece of smoked salmon on one end of the cucumber strip. You may need to tear or cut the salmon to fit the width of the cucumber.
Starting from the end with the salmon, gently roll up the cucumber strip, ensuring that it is snug but not so tight that the filling spills out.
Repeat the process with the remaining cucumber strips, cream cheese mixture, and smoked salmon.
Once all rolls are complete, arrange them on a serving platter. If desired, garnish with additional dill sprigs or a light sprinkle of lemon zest for added freshness and flavor.
Serve immediately as a delightful keto-friendly appetizer or snack.
