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

Overlap 2 to 3 zucchini strips to form a band. Spread a thin layer of cheese cream, leaving a 1 cm border. Place salmon strips on the bottom third.

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.
