Wine Pairing
This is a great entree when you’re looking for a lighter meal. We call for sesame salmon here, but you could use other seafood. Scallops would be very nice with these flavors as well.
If you’re looking for a side to go with this dish try this apple fennel salad. Really, any leafy green salad would do. Spinach would be a happy medium ground between the lighter and heavy greens. A soy sauce based dressing also tastes quite nice on spinach, which would bring the flavors of the dish together.
This luscious sesame salmon dish pairs best with a crisp white wine, preferably without any oak. But, you could try an unfiltered version of these to get more fruit flavor.
Here are our wine pairing suggestions:
- Sauvignon Blanc
- Riesling
- Gewurztminer
- Chablis
