Wine Pairing:
My choice of wine with the Confit Salmon with its delicate flavours (salty and sweet Miso broth) was a light to medium-bodied Sauvignon blanc. Our Japanese friend was set on a Riesling.
Both wines did compliment the salmon well bringing out the flavours of both the wine and the food. As always, when choosing your wine – let your taste buds be the judge.
