Wine note: Amy Arrington, from Southern Wine and Spirits in Charleston, South Carolina, suggests wine options to serve with this meal: Franciscan Chardonnay, with its ripe fruitiness, full body, and creamy texture, pairs nicely with the salmonit can stand up to salmon's substantial taste but has enough acidity for contrast. Esser Vineyard's food-friendly Pinot Noir makes a tasty complement to the fish's richness, and its low tannins don't interfere with salmon's beautiful flavors.

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. The Lapis Luna Chardonnay with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 13 dollars per bottle.
