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 Left Coast Cellars Truffle Hill Chardonnay with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 21 dollars per bottle.

No butter, no vanilla, but maybe just a bit of cream... what Chardonnay tastes like when it lets its hair down. Flinty with Golden apples, baken pears, spice and fig on a refreshing frame, sur lie aged for just 9 months.This Chardonnay is delicious with French country dishes. The flavors in the wine make you wish for Pate and a hunk of crusty bread, some rich creamy cheese and perhaps a slice of quiche. Try with potted salmon rillettes, crab cakes and a salad of pears, walnuts and Oregon Rogue Creamery blue cheese.
