Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc

Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, 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 Bodegan Aniello 006 Pinot Noir. It has 4.5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 17 dollars.

Bodega Aniello 006 Pinot Noir

Attractive pale ruby color. With lovely aromas of red fruit such as cranberry and strawberry, along with some hints of roses and earthy minerals. Round tannins and an enhanced minerality, with a beautiful structure and finish.
