Instructions
Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
Place the salmon fillet on a rimmed baking sheet, and season with salt.
Bake in the preheated oven until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan.
Whisk in the flour, cooking for 1 minute, then stir in the wine. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium low. Simmer until the liquid is reduced by half, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the chives and season with salt and pepper. Break the salmon into large chunks, and serve topped with the sauce.
Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc
Salmon works really well 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. One wine you could try is Lapis Luna Chardonnay. It has 4.7 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 13 dollars.
