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. The Left Coast Cellars Truffle Hill Chardonnay with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 21 dollars per bottle.

Left Coast Cellars Truffle Hill Chardonnay

No butter, no vanilla, but maybe just a bit of cream... what Chardonnay tastes like when it lets its hair down. Flinty with Golden apples, baken pears, spice and fig on a refreshing frame, sur lie aged for just 9 months.This Chardonnay is delicious with French country dishes. The flavors in the wine make you wish for Pate and a hunk of crusty bread, some rich creamy cheese and perhaps a slice of quiche. Try with potted salmon rillettes, crab cakes and a salad of pears, walnuts and Oregon Rogue Creamery blue cheese.
