SMOKED SALMON CHEESECAKE
A rich savoury cheesecake baked in a springform pan, then refrigerated. Because it is served at room temperature, this is a great make-ahead appetiser, and an ideal dish for occasions when you're serving a large group of people. The preparation and cooking times do not include cooling and refrigeration times. I have adapted this recipe from one I found on a Canadian website.

SALMON WITH LEMON AND DILL
This is a wonderful (and easy) recipe I got from my Aunt. The flavors of lemon and dill really complement the fish. I like to use wild Alaskan salmon for this recipe, but any salmon will work. I usually don't measure, so these are all estimates. Play with the ingredients to suit your own tastes!

SMOKED SALMON CHEESECAKE
Years ago I found a recipe in Home and Garden for Salmon Cheesecake. It was a prize winner in their contest. But I changed alot of it and created a new recipe. Please when you make this only use Wild Red Sockey Salmon. The farmed is neither healthy and it has a horrible taste.

Steps:
- 1. Press your the pie dough into a pie pan. Or use the Phylo in a quiche pan. You can also do this in a muffin tin. If you are using Phylo dough, make sure you brush each layer with a LITTLE *unsalted* melted butter. To make the crust using the bread crumnbs. Buy a loaf of french bread. Gut the french bread, by taking the middle of the bread out. Place in processor and pulse till you have fine crumbs. Mix them with the butter and press heavly into pie pan evenly and up the sides. Place your choice of crusts in the refrig for 20 minutes. Or place in freezer while you prepare filling.
- 2. Prepare filling. Beat eggs with a whisk or fork, but don't go crazy beating. Stir in the Ricotta Cheese and Swiss Cheese. Stir in the cream, salt, pepper and dill. Gently stir the salmon in.
- 3. Pour into crust or Phylo. Bake 350* 35 to 40 minutes or until set. To test if it's done..stick a knife in the middle. If it comes out with liquid on it, it will need to bake a little longer.
- 4. Serve warm with a dab of sour cream and a sprig of dill.
- 5. Notes: I shop at the Italian store to get my Ricotta cheese only. I buy Baby Swiss at a European Deli. If I am really brave I will drive to the Farmers Market in Los Angeles to buy all the cheeses. But I am coward and don't do it often unless I am having an early breakfast on the weekend with friends. Reheats well in a microwave or on low setting oven. You can make this low fat by omitting the yolks. Use non-fat or low fat Ricotta cheese, non fat milk and low fat swiss cheese. Personally, I have only made it low fat once for my brother and I wasn't thrilled with it, but he was.
- 6. I have made these as horerves, by using mini muffin pans and pie dough or Phyllo dough.
Tips:
- Selecting the Right Ingredients: Opt for high-quality smoked salmon and cream cheese. Use fresh dill for the best flavor.
- Preparing the Crust: Use a combination of crushed crackers and melted butter for a sturdy crust. Press it firmly into the pan to prevent cracking.
- Mixing the Filling: Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth and creamy texture. Fold in the smoked salmon, dill, and other ingredients gently to avoid overmixing.
- Baking the Cheesecake: Bake the cheesecake in a water bath to prevent overcooking and promote even cooking. Use a low oven temperature to achieve a creamy and tender texture.
- Chilling and Serving: Allow the cheesecake to chill thoroughly before serving. This helps the flavors meld and the texture to firm up. Garnish with additional smoked salmon, dill, and lemon zest for an elegant presentation.
