Wine note: The tang of the yogurt, the "bite" of the garlic, mustard, and Worcestershire, the freshness of the greens, and the succulence of the salmon all mean that the perfect wine for this dish must be clean, crisp, and bracing with enough body to balance a "meaty" fish like salmon. One to try: a California pinot gris like J Pinot Gris from the Russian River Valley, about $ -Karen MacNeil

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 La Crema Russian River Chardonnay with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 28 dollars per bottle.

On the nose are citrus tones, with green apple, pineapple and floral aromas accentuated by caramel and hazelnut traces. The bright fruit and crisp acidity typical of the Russian River appellation are apparent in the mouth, with lemon-lime components and concentrated pear notes, offset by a lingering apple and spice finish.
