To use up the kosher salt you could follow this main course with the Low Fat Crumbs Cake (Kosher-Dairy) as a dessert.

Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc

Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, 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 Valley of the Moon Chardonnay with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 16 dollars per bottle.

Aromas of ripe peach, baked pear, and sweet vanilla are accented by notes of cinnamon and clove. The ripe fruit and sweet oak flavorsaccompany a rich and creamy mouth feel with just enough bright acidity to focus the finish.Valley of the Moon Chardonnay is a delightful accompaniment to salads, seafood, fowl, lighter grilled meats, and cream-based pastas.
