Wine note: The green flavors (peas, dill, and green onions) in this dish could easily be mirrored by a fresh, green-tasting sauvignon blanc. However, I prefer to serve this with a German sptlese riesling instead. The pure fruity and floral character of the riesling is an exquisite counterpoint to the richness of the salmon. Try the Pfeffingen "Ungsteiner Herrenberg" Riesling Sptlese 2004 from Pfalz, Germany ($20). --Karen MacNeil

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. One wine you could try is Aubert Lauren Vineyard Chardonnay. It has 4.4 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 139 dollars.
