Rinse the zucchini and remove the ends. With a sharp knife and steady hand, cut slices about 1/8–3/16 inch thick.
Heat a grill pan very well. Once it’s smoking hot, place the zucchini slices and cook 5–6 minutes per side. Salt lightly, then stack them on a plate, one on top of another, and keep warm.
When done grilling, lay the slices out and fill them with smoked salmon, Robiola and arugula. Roll them up tightly and place on a plate, finish with a drizzle of oil and serve.
You can enjoy this dish at room temperature or chilled straight from the fridge. If you want to store it in the fridge for a few hours, remember to cover the plate with plastic wrap.
