Preheat your oven or toaster oven to 180°C (350°F).
Using a rolling pin, gently flatten the bread slices to make them thinner and easier to roll. Trim off the crusts for a clean look.
Lightly brush both sides of the bread slices with olive oil and arrange them on a baking sheet.
Toast the bread in the oven for 3-5 minutes, or until slightly crisp but still pliable. Remove and let cool.
In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, lemon juice, chopped fresh dill, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and evenly combined.
Spread a thin, even layer of the cream cheese mixture onto each toasted bread slice.
Lay a strip of smoked salmon along one edge of each bread slice. Roll the bread slice tightly around the salmon to form a cylinder.
Using a sharp knife, cut each rolled cylinder into two equal-sized 'fingers'.
Arrange the smoked salmon fingers on a serving platter and garnish with additional dill if desired.
Serve immediately or chill for 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy!
