# Steps:

01 - Combine the cottage cheese, chopped hard-boiled eggs, lemon juice, freshly ground black pepper, and chopped fresh dill in a bowl; mix thoroughly until well blended.
02 - Lay one nori sheet shiny side down on a bamboo sushi mat or a clean kitchen towel.
03 - Lightly spread a thin layer of cream cheese evenly over the nori sheet, leaving a 0.8-inch (2 cm) border at the top edge.
04 - Distribute one quarter of the cottage cheese mixture evenly across the bottom third of the nori sheet.
05 - Arrange smoked salmon slices over the filling, followed by julienned cucumber, carrot, sliced avocado, and finely sliced spring onions.
06 - Starting from the bottom edge, use the mat to roll the nori tightly around the fillings, keeping the ingredients compact; moisten the top edge with water to seal the roll.
07 - Repeat the rolling process using the remaining nori sheets and filling ingredients.
08 - With a sharp, damp knife, cut each roll into 6 to 8 pieces.
09 - Arrange the sliced rolls on a platter, garnish with extra fresh dill, and serve alongside soy sauce or tamari, wasabi, and pickled ginger.
