Drain potatoes and immediately place in ice water.
Drain and pat dry with paper towels.
Cut a thin slice off the bottom of each potato to allow it to sit flat. With a melon baller, scoop out a small amount of potato (discard or save for another use).
Pipe or spoon salmon mixture into potatoes.
Garnish with dill sprigs.
Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc
Salmon on the menu? Try pairing with Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, 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 Francis Ford Coppola Diamond Collection Monterey Pinot Noir with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 20 dollars per bottle.

The Silver Label Pinot Noir has a bright ruby color and reveals an alluring perfume of red plums, flowers, and sweet spices. Profuse flavors of black cherry, dark currant, and strawberry fill out the plush palate while notes of sandalwood continue into the soft, elegant finish.
