Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc

Salmon can be paired 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 Crossbow Sonoma Pinot Noir with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 20 dollars per bottle.

Crossbow Sonoma Pinot Noir

Aged in French oak, this Pinot Noir has a beautiful garnet color with aromas of Bing cherry, red raspberry, baking spice and subtle vanilla notes. It presents a lush softness on the palate coupled with flavors of concentrated red and blue fruit, with a core of cherry and dark raspberry with purple violet oral notes. Medium bodied with balanced acidity that lifts the flavors.
