Cut off the ends of the zucchinis. Using a mandoline, slice long strips 2 mm thick. Brush both sides with olive oil.

Grill the strips in a very hot pan, 30 seconds to 1 minute per side, until flexible and marked. Place them on a rack to cool.

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.

Wrap each roll in plastic film and refrigerate for 15 minutes. Trim the ends, then slice into 3-4 cm pieces with a sharp, wet knife.

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.
