Cut the smoked salmon into small pieces and set aside.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or spatula to soften the cream cheese until it is smooth and creamy.
Add the sour cream, lemon juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the cream cheese. Mix until fully combined.
Fold in the chopped smoked salmon, fresh dill, and any optional capers. Mix gently to distribute evenly without breaking up the salmon too much.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding a pinch more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to your preference.
Transfer the mixture to a serving dish or bowl and smooth the surface with a spatula.
For presentation, garnish with an extra sprinkle of fresh dill or a few capers, if desired.
Serve immediately with crackers, fresh vegetables, or bagel chips, or cover and refrigerate briefly to allow the flavors to meld.
Enjoy your smoky salmon spread with family and friends!
