Wash the cucumber thoroughly and pat dry with a kitchen towel.
Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, slice the cucumber into long, thin strips, about 2 mm thick. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, chopped fresh dill, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Lay a strip of cucumber flat on a clean surface.
Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture evenly across the cucumber strip using a butter knife or small spatula.
Place a small piece of smoked salmon at one end of the cucumber slice and a couple of capers next to it.
Starting at the end with the salmon, carefully roll the cucumber slice up tightly until you reach the other end.
Secure the roll with a toothpick, and repeat the process with the remaining cucumber slices.
Arrange the cucumber rolls on a serving platter and garnish with additional fresh dill, if desired.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
