| 12 oz smoked salmon slices | grated zest of 1/2 lemon | |
| 1 cucumber | 1 tsp chopped dill | |
| 4 oz (110 g) cream cheese, softened | 1 tsp prepared horseradish | |
| 2 tbsp mayonnaise | dill sprigs and lemon wedges to serve |
Cut the smoked salmon into 16 strips about 5 × 1 1/2 in (12cm × 4cm). Cut the cucumber into sticks measuring 1 1/2 in (4cm) by 1/4 in (5mm).
Combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, lemon zest, dill, and horseradish together in a bowl and mash together until ingredients are fully combined.
Lay the smoked salmon strips on the work surface. Spread with the cheese mixture, leaving 1in (2.5cm) empty at one short end. Lay a cucumber stick about 1/2 in (1cm) from the cheese-spread end, and roll up tightly.
Arrange the rolls on a serving platter. Garnish with dill sprigs and lemon wedges, and serve chilled.
