Instructions

Meanwhile, spray 12-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray.
Add salmon to skillet; sprinkle with salt. Cook uncovered over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until salmon flakes easily with fork.
Remove salmon from skillet.
Add potatoes, beans, pasta sauce and pepper to same skillet.
Heat to boiling. Reduce heat; cover and cook 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender. Stir in pasta, salmon and basil. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, just until thoroughly heated.
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. The Tenuta di Nozzole Le Bruniche Chardonnay with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 12 dollars per bottle.

Tenuta di Nozzole Le Bruniche Chardonnay
Nozzole Le Bruniche is an elegant and distinctive expression of the Chardonnay variety, with a clean, fragrant bouquet of white and tropical fruits offset by slight nuances of toast. On the palate, it shows a superb balance of fruit ripeness underscored by a fresh acidity and structure of medium body, with an overall impression of delicate complexity. These are repeated in the clean, persistent finish, which ends on a subtle toasty note.
