Place the cream cheese and sour cream in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Let the cream cheese soften at room temperature for 10 minutes to make it easier to mix.
Finely chop the smoked salmon into small pieces and add it to the mixing bowl.
Stir in the freshly squeezed lemon juice, chopped dill, and prepared horseradish. Mix well until the ingredient combination is smooth and creamy.
Fold in the chopped green onions, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir gently to fully combine all ingredients.
Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning if necessary, with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your preference.
Transfer the smoky salmon spread to a serving dish and garnish with extra dill or green onions if desired.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve with crackers, toasted bread, bagels, or fresh vegetables as a dip.
