Instructions
Salmon:Preheat a grill to high.
Remove shingles from water and brush with vegetable oil on both sides.
Place on the grill and allow to heat through, about 10 minutes.
Remove to a sheet pan. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Season salmon with salt and pepper, then sear on all sides quickly.
Place a salmon fillet on each shingle and cover sheet pan with foil.
Place in oven and cook until just done, about 5 to 8 minutes.
Roasted Tomatillo Sauce:Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Rub the tomatillos, garlic and onion with olive oil, place on a baking sheet, and roast for 20 minutes or until the tomatillos are soft.
Place all the ingredients in a food processor and puree until smooth, season with salt and pepper to taste.
Place potatoes in a large bowl, add butter, warm cream, chipotle puree and garlic and mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
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. The Foley Johnson Carneros Chardonnay with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 23 dollars per bottle.
Foley Johnson Carneros Chardonnay
Aromas are concentrated and complex in our 2016 Carneros Chardonnay. Notes of grilled peach, pear, buttered croissant, and vanilla set the stage for a rich, and full-bodied Chardonnay. The aromas expand on the palate with mouthwatering flavors of pear, apple crisp, honeysuckle, toasted coconut, and vanilla wafer. This wine’s balance and structure coupled with its bright acidity makes it an age-worthy wine to be enjoyed for several years. Enjoy this beauty with a succulent roasted chicken and wild mushroom risotto.
