Instructions
Fill a large skillet with 1 1/2 inches water; bring to a boil.
Add salmon; reduce heat, and simmer 8 minutes, or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.
Remove from skillet; discard cooking liquid.
Combine 1/4 cup each mayonnaise and buttermilk, 2 tablespoons dill, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and a pinch each of sugar, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Arrange 1 cup arugula and 1 salmon fillet on each of 2 plates, and drizzle the dill mixture over the fish.
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.
