Spoonacular is a recipe search engine that sources recipes from across the web. We do our best to find recipes suitable for many diets — whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, etc. — but we cannot guarantee that a recipe's ingredients are safe for your diet. Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

We also attempt to estimate the cost and calculate the nutritional information for the recipes found on our site. Again, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information.

Fish can be paired with Pinot Noir, Pinot Grigio, and Gruener Veltliner. Fish is as diverse as wine, so it's hard to pick wines that go with every fish. A crisp white wine, such as a pinot grigio or Grüner Veltliner, will suit any delicately flavored white fish. Meaty, strongly flavored fish such as salmon and tuna can even handle a light red wine, such as a pinot noir. One wine you could try is Tobacco Road Pinot Noir, Wine. It has 5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 30 dollars.

Tobacco Road Pinot Noir, Wine

Aromas of cherry pie, pomegranate, and lychee fruit are followed by vibrant flavors of strawberry jam with hints of whipped cream, clove and cinnamon spice. This is a pretty wine with bright acid and a food-friendly structure.

Instructions

Wash, trim, pat the salmon dry, and set aside. In a small bowl mix the sesame oil, red wine vinegar, soy sauce, honey, blood orange juice, garlic, ginger, cumin, chili powder, and paprika. If desired, use a food processor to blend. Place the salmon in the refrigerator in a ziploc bag with marinade for at least one hour. Preheat the oven to 400F. Remove the salmon from the fridge and top with sesame seeds. Bake for 20 minutes, or until lightly crisp on the top and flakey on the inside. Serve immediately!
