No fancy dinner can go without a glass of wine, and this beverage can truly elevate your food if you make the right pick. That’s especially true when it comes to smoked salmon because wine can really bring out to best in this pescatarian dish—especially these three types.
White Wines
Even if you prefer red wine to white, you should try something a little bit different when it comes to smoked salmon. The smoky and salty taste of your fish will be accentuated by the light, subtle, and crisp flavor of white wine, and that’s why they’re the perfect combo.
Champagne
Smoked salmon and champagne go hand in hand, and you should order them together even if you’re not celebrating a special occasion. Champagne’s sparkly texture and dry finish will elevate the flavor and texture of your smoked salmon, and having them at your table at the same time is a no-brainer.
Dry Riesling
The German white grape wine can also do wonders for your smoked salmon, as long as you make the right pick. The tricky thing about dry Riesling is the sweet taste of certain types of wine, which you should avoid at all costs because they’re not a good match with salty salmon.
