Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc

Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc are great choices 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. One wine you could try is Hindsight Wines Chardonnay. It has 4.5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 26 dollars.

Hindsight Wines Chardonnay
Our 2018 Chardonnay is sourced from vineyards in Carneros and Oak Knoll. Fermented in stainless steel, then aged three months on the lees in neutral French oak, the wine shows great acidity, weight and mouth-feel. This 100% Chardonnay shows acidity normally reserved for stainless only wines. This is a beautifully balanced Chardonnay.
