Servings:

4servings

Black peppercorns 227grams

carrots, peeled, sliced, if desired 3stalks

Few celery, sliced, if desired 473milliliters

dry white wine 1head

Fish and bones 1small bunch

Salt 680grams

center cut, skinless, salmon fillets 4servings

Water

Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, Pinot Noir

Fish can be paired with Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, and Pinot Noir. Fish is as diverse as wine, so it's hard to pick wines that go with every fish. A crisp white wine, such as a pinot grigio or Grüner Veltliner, will suit any delicately flavored white fish. Meaty, strongly flavored fish such as salmon and tuna can even handle a light red wine, such as a pinot noir. The Loveblock Pinot Gris with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 24 dollars per bottle.
