Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc

Salmon works really well with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc. To decide on white or red, you should consider your seasoning and sauces. Chardonnay is a great friend to buttery, creamy dishes, while sauvignon blanc can complement herb or citrus-centric dishes. A light-bodied, low-tannin red such as the pinot noir goes great with broiled or grilled salmon. One wine you could try is Chateau Ste. Michelle Indian Wells Chardonnay Wine. It has 5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 18 dollars.

"Our Indian Wells Chardonnay delivers an appealing tropical fruit character typical of warm sites like the Wahluke Slope. I like this Chardonnay's ripe pineapple and butterscotch flavors and rich, creamy texture. Try it with Scallops, scampi or pasta with rich sauces." - Bob Bertheau
