Salmon's bold flavors and rich profile make it unique in wine pairing, opening up options for white, red, rosé, and sparkling wines. The preparation method is key; for instance, smoked salmon pairs well with grenache and Champagne, while grilled options suit light-bodied pinot noir. For richer dishes like bourbon glazed salmon, dry riesling or lambrusco are recommended. Pair wines like condiments to balance salmon's fat, with full-bodied whites or light-bodied reds being classic choices for enhancing the meal experience.
"Smoked salmon is going to have a different profile than salmon tartare... Some good wines for smoked salmon include grenache and Champagne."
"I always say pair wine like you would a sauce or condiment... you want a wine that will cut through the fat while having the body to match that of the fish."
