Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc

Salmon on the menu? Try pairing 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. You could try Xavier Monnot Bourgogne Les Grandes Coutures Chardonnay. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 30 dollars per bottle.
