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 Martin Ray Bald Mountain Vineyard Chardonnay. It has 4.1 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 46 dollars.
Martin Ray Bald Mountain Vineyard Chardonnay

It has a clean but broad palate that is honed nicely by its definitive minerality. Smooth and supple on the front and mid-palate, with bright acids along the sides and finish.Pair this elegant Chardonnay with ceviche with avocado and lime.
