Pair these wines with your salmon dish

1. Pointelle Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

An Oregon Pinot Noir such as this Pointelle Willamette Valley is the perfect complement for any salmon dish. This one has aged for 10 months in French oak,and has enduring soft and summer fruit flavors.

2. Spencer Hill Tres Elegant Chardonnay

This Spencer Hill 2014 Tres Elegant Chardonnay is a full-bodied, dry wine with a savory finish. This one has an elegant creaminess with a touch of spiced oak, and you'll also taste hints of citrus, stonefruit and melon.

This french red by Lois Jadot is a great example of a wine that can pair well with salmon. It is a light bodied wine that gives off a delicate, yet refined taste in your mouth.

4.Castle Rock Pinot Noir California Cuvee

Any type of California Pinot Nior works well with salmon dishes, not matter how they are prepared. This is an elegant and medium-bodied red wine with aromas of herbal spice, cherry, and tea . It gives a smooth and silky texture on the palate with mild tannins. You'll also taste flavors of plum, black cherry, and spice.

5. Bourgogne Les Genevrieres Pinot Noir

Another red wine that can pair well with salmon — and the final option on our top 5 list —is this Bourgogne Les Genevrieres, produced by Frederic Esmonin. This is a Pinot Noir from France, which has notes of cranberry, raspberry and tart. The earth and bright cherry aromas lead to spice flavors on the palate, ending in a short but pleasant finish.
