Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc

Salmon can be paired 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. You could try Frank Family Vineyards Lewis Vineyard Reserve Chardonnay. Reviewers quite like it with a 5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 62 dollars per bottle.

The wine is straw yellow in color. On the nose expresses slow roasted pears and honeysuckle flowers. On the palate, the wine is bright and full bodied, with loads of Meyer lemon and fresh apricot flavors.
