What to look for in the wine
Allow for chilli heat
Chilli can make alcohol feel warmer and tannin more severe. For grilled salmon with chilli and lime, compare lower-alcohol wines with softer tannins. A little sweetness may help if your version is especially hot.
Keep enough acidity in the wine
Tangy ingredients can make a low-acid wine seem flat. Choose a fresh wine for grilled salmon with chilli and lime and check the acidity reading where it is available. Taste your sauce before settling on the bottle.
Consider a softer texture
Savoury ingredients can bring out bitterness and drying tannin in a wine. A supple red or a textured white is worth considering here, particularly when mushrooms or vegetables are central to your recipe.
Bottles to consider
These suggestions compare a typical preparation with the available wine profiles. Add your own recipe in the pairing tool for a closer match.
