Roast Salmon with Lime Salsa

Roast Salmon with Lime Salsa
Roast Salmon with Lime Sals It is a good option if you're following a gluten free, dairy free, and pescatarian diet. It is a pretty expensive recipe for fans of Mexican food. Head to the store and pick up center-cut salmon fillets, pepper, jalapeño--halved, and a few other things to make it today. To use up the sea salt you could follow this main course with the Raspberry Sea Salt Brownies as a dessert.

Wine Recommendation: Salmon generally pairs well with red; here the tangy lime and sweet red onion salsa tune the choice to a bright fruity Burgundy or Pinot Noir. Two excellent choices are the 1998 Louis Jadot Chorey-ls-Beaune from France and the 1998 Coldstream Hills Yarra Valley Pinot Noir from Australia.

Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc

Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc are my top picks 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. You could try Tenuta di Nozzole Le Bruniche Chardonnay. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 12 dollars per bottle.

Tenuta di Nozzole Le Bruniche Chardonnay
Nozzole Le Bruniche is an elegant and distinctive expression of the Chardonnay variety, with a clean, fragrant bouquet of white and tropical fruits offset by slight nuances of toast. On the palate, it shows a superb balance of fruit ripeness underscored by a fresh acidity and structure of medium body, with an overall impression of delicate complexity. These are repeated in the clean, persistent finish, which ends on a subtle toasty note.
