Wash the cucumber thoroughly and cut it into 1/4-inch thick slices. Set aside on a platter.
In a small bowl, scoop out the avocado flesh and mash it with a fork until smooth.
Add the lime juice, cream cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the mashed avocado. Mix until well combined and creamy.
Using a piping bag or small spoon, dollop a generous amount of the avocado cream onto each cucumber slice.
Cut the smoked salmon into small, bite-sized strips. Roll or fold the salmon pieces neatly, then place one piece on top of the avocado cream on each cucumber slice.
Garnish each cucumber slice with a small sprig of fresh dill.
Serve immediately as a light appetizer or refrigerate for up to 1 hour before serving.
