1. Cut the salmon fillet into thin strips, approximately 1/2 inch thick. Set aside.
2. Halve the avocado, remove the pit, scoop out the flesh, and slice into thin strips.
3. Peel the cucumber and zucchini, then use a vegetable peeler or mandolin to create long, thin strips. These will act as the outer wrap of the roll.
4. In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together to create a marinade.
5. Place the salmon strips in the marinade and let them sit for 5 minutes.
6. Lay a strip of cucumber and zucchini flat on a clean surface, slightly overlapping them.
7. At one end, place a few strips of marinated salmon and avocado.
8. Roll the cucumber and zucchini strips tightly around the salmon and avocado, creating a compact roll.
9. Secure with a toothpick if necessary. Repeat until all ingredients are used.
10. Garnish with fresh dill if desired and serve immediately.
