Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc

Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc are my top picks for Salmon. 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. You could try 7Cellars Elway's Reserve Chardonnay. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.9 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 28 dollars per bottle.

The 2018 Elway’s Reserve Carneros Chardonnay is well-balanced, exhibiting crisp tropical fruit, apple and pear flavors with light floral elements. Hints of vanilla complement a smooth, lingering oak finish.Pair this crisp wine with light fare such as sliced fruit & cheeses, lemon pasta salad, roasted chicken with herbs, or vanilla pudding.
