And you have today's Simple Suppers recipe! When I made this dish, I used a lovely piece of Pacific Rockfish, but Red Snapper would be an excellent substitution.

For this dish, I'd recommend a crisp, citrusy California chardonnay, such as Windy Oaks. Or, if red wine suits your tastes, try a Burgundian-style California Pinot Noir from a producer like Windy Oaks or Anthill Farms.

Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, Pinot Noir

Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, and Pinot Noir are my top picks for Fish. Fish is as diverse as wine, so it's hard to pick wines that go with every fish. A crisp white wine, such as a pinot grigio or Grüner Veltliner, will suit any delicately flavored white fish. Meaty, strongly flavored fish such as salmon and tuna can even handle a light red wine, such as a pinot noir. The Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 26 dollars per bottle.
Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio
Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio
A pale straw yellow. Clean, crisp fragrance with intense yet elegant hints of quince. Fresh, harmonious fruit set off by slight sweetness with a long finish full of delicate, tangy flavor.
