Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc

Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc are great choices 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 August Kesseler The Daily August Trocken Pinot Noir. It has 4.3 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 25 dollars.

August Kesseler The Daily August Trocken Pinot Noir

The Daily August Pinot Noir opens with a subtle scent of black cherry and blueberry, paired with the delicious aroma of cassis and red pepper. In the mouth it presents itself as fresh and fruity with tension on the palate and fine length. It is an elegant expression of Rheingau Pinot Noir.
