After 30 minutes, smoke the tuna until it reaches an internal temperature of 135°F and is flaky.

Let the smoked tuna cool to room temperature and coarsely chop it.

In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped smoked tuna, 8 ounces of whipped cream cheese, 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1/3 cup red onion, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon coarse black pepper.

Mix all the ingredients until well combined.

Refrigerate the dip for 20 minutes before serving with crackers.
