Drain and spread out on a rack to cool. Line the bottom of the pie dish with potato slices and then line the sides of the dish. Sprinkle green onions into the dish and then arrange the salmon on top. Sprinkle with the cheese. In a medium bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add the cream, wine, salt, pepper and nutmeg and stir until blended. Place the pie dish on a baking sheet and pour in the egg mixture. Bake on the center shelf for 40 minutes or until to top is puffed and browned and an inserted knife comes out clean.
