- 100 grams plain Greek yogurt
- 100 grams low-fat cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons dill
- 2 tablespoons chives
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
Begin by flaking the cooked salmon fillet into a medium-sized mixing bowl, ensuring there are no bones and the pieces are small.
Add the plain Greek yogurt and low-fat cream cheese to the bowl with the flaked salmon.
Pour the lemon juice over the mixture to add a tangy note and help maintain the spread's vibrant color.
Chop the fresh dill and chives finely, then add them to the bowl along with the capers. Stir gently to combine.
Season the mixture with black pepper and garlic powder, adjusting the quantities to taste.
Using a spatula, mix all the ingredients thoroughly to distribute flavors evenly, creating a smooth and creamy texture.
Transfer the spread into a serving dish, smoothing the top with the back of a spoon.
Serve immediately with whole-grain crackers or cucumber slices, or refrigerate for up to 3 days in an airtight container for future use.
