Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush tops lightly with olive oil.
Toast in the oven for 5 minutes or until edges are golden brown and crisp.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, lemon zest, and black pepper.
Spread approximately 1 tablespoon of the cottage cheese mixture onto each warm crostini.
Top each crostini with a portion of smoked salmon, folding the strips for height.
Garnish with fresh dill and serve immediately to maintain texture.
