Add cream cheese, some lemon juice, capers, some caper brine, fresh dill to the blender or a food processor. Blend until smooth. Taste and adjust the taste with any of the ingredients. Be careful and salt this lightly, as smoked salmon is quite salty. Adjust the consistency to make it more spreadable, while ensuring it's not runny, with some sour cream (or Mayo, yogurt, more caper brine.)
Spread the mixture over the toasted bread. Top with slices of smoked salmon, lettuce, thinly sliced onions, thinly sliced cucumbers and serve.
Some like adding tomatoes to this sandwich; but I personally don't as it slightly overpowers the taste and texture of smoked salmon.
If you are making this ahead (for lunch or potluck,) don't toast the bread and don't add watery veggies like tomatoes or cucumbers.
