Recipe Note
Wine Pairing
Pinot Noir: Its red fruit flavors and gentle tannins harmonize beautifully with the richness of salmon.
Chardonnay: Look for a full-bodied Chardonnay with moderate oak influence – perfect for buttery or creamy salmon dishes.
Sauvignon Blanc: Crisp and citrusy, it cuts through the fish’s richness.
Rosé: A dry rosé complements a variety of salmon preparations.
Syrah/Shiraz: Bold and peppery, it pairs well with smoky or spicy salmon.
