Pan-Seared Salmon Fillets

  • ACTIVE:
  • TOTAL TIME:
  • SERVINGS: 6

Pam Anderson, author of How to Cook Without a Book, knows that salmon is the one fish everybody eats. It's lovely served just with wedges of lemon or dressed up with flavored butter or a simple pan sauce.

Our Pairing Suggestion

A wine with exotic fruit and spice notes will accentuate the sweet-tart chutney or the orange-Pernod sauce. Consider a rich-textured dry Gewürztraminer from Alsace.
