Wine with salmon
Fresh acidity and moderate weight suit the richness of salmon; light Pinot Noir can also work when the fish is roasted or grilled.
Choosing wine with salmon
Poached, roasted or served with sauce?
Poached salmon with lemon gives you a reason to choose a fresh, lighter white. A buttery sauce can suit a fuller Chardonnay. For roasted or grilled salmon with mushrooms, a lighter Pinot Noir is another option.
Can red wine work with salmon?
A lighter red can work. A very tannic wine may overpower the fish, so read the bottle’s body and oak notes. The selection below uses recorded grapes; it is a starting point rather than a precise tasting match.
