What wine to serve with salmon?

Salmon is a very versatile fish, yet wine pairings largely depend on the way the salmon is prepared and the accompaniments.

An absolute NO to pairing full red wine with salmon as it will kill both the wine and the flavor of the fish.

Chilled Pinot Noir is the obvious choice for sauteed salmon.

What to drink with salmon with herbs and cream sauces. You can never go wrong choosing a wine like Sauvignon Blanc if your salmon is prepared with subtle herbs and citrus.

If your main course is salmon in butter or a cream sauce, you should rather serve a Chardonnay with a little oak aroma.

If we prepare the salmon in a Thai, Chinese or Japanese way, i.e. spicy, choose a wine such as Riesling or Pinot Gris.

If you are serving smoked salmon, choose Riesling or Chardonnay Champagne.
