Step 1: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, finely chopped fresh dill, finely chopped fresh chives, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
Step 2: On a clean work surface, lay out a large sheet of plastic wrap. Arrange the smoked salmon slices slightly overlapping on the plastic wrap to form a rectangular sheet about 10x8 inches (25x20 cm).
Step 3: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the smoked salmon, leaving a 1-inch (2.5 cm) border along the top edge to help seal the roulade when rolled.
Step 4: Starting from the edge closest to you, use the plastic wrap to gently lift and begin rolling the smoked salmon into a tight log. Take care to roll evenly and firmly for a neat roulade.
Step 5: Wrap the rolled salmon tightly in the plastic wrap and twist the ends to secure. Chill the roulade in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to firm up before slicing.
Step 6: When ready to serve, remove the plastic wrap and carefully slice the roulade into 1/2-inch (1 cm) thick slices using a sharp knife. Serve as an appetizer or on a platter garnished with fresh dill and lemon wedges.
