- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Take the cream cheese out of the refrigerator and allow it to soften for about 20 minutes to make it easier to mix.

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, lemon juice, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt.
Using a hand mixer or a spatula, blend the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy.
Gently fold in the chopped smoked salmon, fresh dill, and capers, ensuring everything is distributed evenly.
