For garnish:

Wash and dry the outside of the cucumbers. Slice them each into 6 thin strips lengthwise. Lay them flat.
Mix the cream cheese, a pinch of pepper, and some fresh dill in a medium-sized bowl.
Spread the cream cheese mixture onto each cucumber slice.
Place one piece of smoked salmon on each cucumber slice near one end. Roll the cucumber slice up starting on that side.

These roll-ups are healthy and fresh tasting. They are gluten-free and keto-friendly. They are a nice light change from the usual smoked salmon appetizers on bread or crackers. The colors are bright and cheery. This makes them lovely for summer or brightening things up in the middle of winter.
A note about slicing the cucumber: you can use a vegetable peeler to get thin, even slices. Some find this is more effective than using a knife.
I can’t seem to master the art of the long, fine slice using a vegetable peeler, so I prefer to use a sharp knife to make my slices.
