Grilled salmon is a delightful dish featuring fresh salmon fillets brushed with olive oil and grilled to perfection. The high heat of the grill creates a crispy, caramelized exterior while keeping the interior moist and flaky. A squeeze of lemon juice adds a bright, citrusy note that complements the rich, umami flavor of the salmon.

Grilled salmon's rich, umami flavors pair well with a crisp, medium-bodied white wine like Vermentino, which has bright acidity and citrus notes to complement the fish. Alternatively, a light-bodied red like Pinot Noir with its delicate fruit and earthy undertones can enhance the grilled notes. For a unique pairing, try a sparkling rosé or orange wine to balance the salmon's richness.
