On the day called Sunday, all who live in cities or in the country gather together in one place, and the memoirs of the apostles or the writings of the prophets are read... Sunday is the day on which we all hold our common assembly, because it is the first day on which God, having wrought a change in the darkness and matter, made the world; and Jesus Christ our Savior on the same day rose from the dead.

Justin Martyr

INSTRUCTIONS

*plus additional sprigs for garnish.
In a medium bowl, whip the cream cheese until fluffy. Add the green onions,
chopped dill, lime juice, lime zest, and the pepper and beat until
combined.
Spread a 2-foot-long sheet of plastic wrap on a work surface. Arrange the
smoked salmon slices on the plastic, overlapping them slightly so that
there are no gaps, to form a 15-by-8-inch rectangle. Spread 2/3 cup of the
lime cream cheese evenly over the salmon. Starting from the long end and
using the plastic wrap to help, roll up the salmon to form a log about 1
inch thick. Wrap the roll in plastic, twist the ends tightly, and
refrigerate overnight or for up to 2 days.
Using a very sharp knife, slice the salmon log 1/3 inch thick. Arrange the
salmon roll-ups on pumpernickel bread triangles, garnish with a little
caviar and dill sprig, and serve.
Prosciutto Roll-Ups Variation: Substitute 1/2 pound of thinly sliced
imported prosciutto for the smoked salmon. Refrigerate overnight before
serving. Omit the caviar and dill-sprig garnish.
NOTES : Make the smoked salmon rolls at least one day ahead to allow the
flavors to mellow before slicing.  Garnish the sliced roll-ups with your
favorite caviar; salmon and whitefish caviar are inexpensive choices.
You'll have plenty of lime cream cheese left over, which can be used in
combination with other hors d'oeuvres.
