Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc

Salmon can be paired with Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, 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 Burn Cottage Cashburn Pinot Noir. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 30 dollars per bottle.

Ripe dark cherry, redcurrant and chocolate notes precede savoury notes of wild thyme, briar, and earth. Supple mouthfilling tannins give depth to the palate, while the freshness and red-berry acidity retain lovely length, focus, and balance.
