Instructions
Butter six 1-cup ramekins. In a medium saucepan, boil the wine over high heat until reduced to 2 tablespoons, 6 minutes; transfer to a bowl. Melt the butter in the saucepan and stir in the flour.
Add the milk and bring to a boil, whisking constantly. Cook over low heat, whisking often, for 5 minutes.
Transfer to a large bowl and beat in the egg yolks and cream cheese. Fold in the salmon and reduced wine. Season with salt, pepper and cayenne; cover.
In a large bowl, beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar until firm peaks form. Fold one-third of the whites into the salmon mixture, then fold in the rest. Spoon into the prepared ramekins.
Bake the souffls in the center of the oven for 20 minutes, or until puffed and browned.
Let cool slightly; the souffls will sink.
Meanwhile, in a blender, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, shallot, honey, ginger, orange and lemon zests and sesame oil; blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Toss with some mesclun, tomatoes and potatoes. Carefully unmold the souffls and serve with the salad.
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. You could try Laguna Winery Russian River Chardonnay. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 16 dollars per bottle.

Laguna Winery Russian River Chardonnay
Nestled in the heart of the Russian River Valley, Laguna Ranch Vineyard has been home to world-class Chardonnay for the past 30 years. The vineyard owes its long growing season to the cool fog that rolls in from the Pacific Ocean, giving our Chardonnay grapes a delicate balance between crisp acidity and ripe fruit flavors. An elegant expression of its namesake vineyard, Laguna Ranch Vineyard Chardonnay is an exceptionally well-balanced and luxurious wine. Opens with notes of apple, pear, quince and tangerine, framed by sweet undertones of Asian spice. Well balanced and rich, this Chardonnay has an expressive mouthfeel and a layered, lingering finish.
