Method

To make the smoked salmon log, first take the carrot and the zucchini, cut them into small cubes and cook them in a skillet with very little oil. When they are done, let them cool completely.
In a medium bowl, put the cream cheese, the drained carrot and zucchini, the pepper, the dill and 150 g of the salmon, finely chopped. Mix everything with a fork to combine the ingredients well. Take a loaf pan and line it with plastic wrap, then line it with the remaining salmon slices to form a fairly thick layer, about half a centimeter (a scant 1/4 inch) high.
Pour the mixture into the pan all the way to the top and level the surface with a kitchen spatula or a spoon. Fold the salmon slices hanging over the edge of the pan onto the leveled surface, then cover everything with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least a couple of hours.
After this time, remove the plastic wrap from the base, turn the pan upside down onto a serving plate and unmold your log. Remove any remaining bits of plastic wrap and decorate with pink peppercorns, lemon zest and dill. Now you can serve your smoked salmon log.
