1 teaspoon lemon juice
Salt and black pepper to taste

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, fresh dill, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Lay out the cucumber strips on a clean surface and blot them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

Carefully roll up each cucumber strip with the salmon and cream cheese inside.
