Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc
Salmon on the menu? Try pairing with Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, 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. The Burn Cottage Cashburn Pinot Noir with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 30 dollars per bottle.
