Food Pairing: Easy Baked Salmon with a Light Rosé Champagne
By: Sheri Wetherell
Published: April 30, 2014

We're celebrating our favorite bubbly beverage with a week’s worth of Champagne! Stay tuned each day for fabulous food and Champagne pairings, informative videos, and more. Why? Because we think every day deserves to be celebrated. Today’s pairing is a perfect for spring salmon recipe. It’s a simple and elegant dish that anyone can do. Best of all, there’s little clean-up as the fish and vegetable cook in a nice little parchment paper envelope! The steam trapped within the package keeps the salmon divinely tender and juicy. Springtime is our favorite time to enjoy a nice chilled rosé Champagne, one that is light and crisp or dry and fruity. Rosés range in color and flavor, but they’re exceptionally versatile and pair well with just about anything (try spicy dishes too, like Thai or Indian!). Check out yesterday’s pairing of Brut and an easy roast chicken here.
