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. The Hindsight Wines Chardonnay with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 26 dollars per bottle.
