In a bowl, mix the fresh cheese, chopped dill, lemon juice, zest (optional) and white pepper. Whisk until smooth.

Fold the lateral sides towards the center, then roll up tightly starting from the salmon edge to form a firm cylinder.

Arrange the rolls on a serving plate. Garnish with dill, a grain of fleur de sel, a pink peppercorn and a drizzle of olive oil.
- • Choose straight zucchinis for long strips. • Grill the strips quickly to prevent them from releasing water. • Overlap 2-3 strips for a sturdy roll that won't tear. • Use a sharp, slightly wet knife for clean slices.
