Pair It: Salmon with brown sugar glaze

ToddFrench · February 10, 2009, 4:47am

I’m thinking of two things here: 1) let’s start some threads with ‘Pair It’ when we want some help, much like how we identify tasting note threads with ‘TN’, and 2) what should I pair with Salmon with brown sugar glaze?

I’m thinking a CA Pinot Noir, one of the ‘syrah-style’ ones, probably central coast.

Thoughts?

Normally I like OR pinot/burg a bit better with salmon, but the brown sugar glaze makes me think ripe CA.

Why would you glaze the fish when it’s so delectable by itself?

Anything with sugar is a tough match for me. Sugar tends to mess up my palate and wines never taste the same after anything very sweet. I’m also with Bob on the fish. Only do this if you have cheap less than fresh fish.

I’m not making it - my wife is, and Bob, you’ll LOVE where she got the recipe!!!
