wild salmon fillet, boneless and skinless 118milliliters

seafood seasoning (recommended: Old Bay)2

serrano chiles, finely diced

Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc

Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, 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. The Chapter 24 Fire and Flood The Fire Pinot Noir with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 60 dollars per bottle.

Chapter 24 Fire and Flood The Fire Pinot Noir

A study in terrior in one word, Fire. It’s more red-fruited than its counterparts, with scents of cherries, raspberries, cedar and forest floor. A tannic component to the texture girds the wine while serving as a springboard, keeping it high-toned and elegant.
