This recipe didn't have a crust but, I had leftover rye bread from an event so I formed a crust like you would for a dessert cheesecake, using melted butter to create a bread crumb paste that was pressed into the spring form pan. I did add a touch of salt and a few caraway seeds to enhance the flavor a bit.

Smoked Salmon Cheesecake by Big Dropper

Ingredients:
1/2c Chopped onion
3T Butter
2T Parmesan cheese
32oz 4 Packages cream cheese, softened
1/2c Heavy whipping cream
1/4t White pepper
4 Eggs
5oz Cold smoked salmon, diced
1/2c Shredded Swiss cheese
Salt to taste

Directions:
In a skillet, sauté onion and garlic in butter until tender; set aside. In a bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy.

Beat in the cream, pepper and parmesan cheese.

Add eggs; beat on low speed just until combined.

Fold in the onion mixture, salmon and Swiss cheese.

Wrap a double thickness of heavy-duty foil around bottom of prepared spring form pan.

Pour salmon mixture into pan. Place in a large baking pan.

Fill larger pan with hot water to a depth of 1-1/2 in. Bake at 325° for 35-40 minutes or until center is almost set.

Turn off oven and allow to rest 2-3 hours.

Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack for 1 hour.
Refrigerate overnight.

This is the basic recipe I used as a guideline. before modifying it after the first time making it because I wanted less cream cheese flavor.

You might want to make it once to see how you like the flavor before making the following adjustments.

Changes I made:
Reduced mass of cream cheese to 27oz
Subbed Parmegiano Reggiano for parmesan cheese and doubled volume to 1/4 cup
Subbed Gruyère for shredded Swiss
Added 1/4t smoked paprika & 1/4t smoked tomato powder for color and to reinforce smokiness.
Chopped 2oz of smoked salmon in a food processor to form a paste so it distributed throughout the cheesecake. If you do this, mix the smoke salmon paste with 2-3 cups of the cheesecake base before adding it to the total volume of base. It will be easier to incorporate it that way.

Let me know how it comes out!
