Serious Grape: Salmon, a Spring Wine Pairing
I love salmon too - I grew up eating it in my home town of Vancouver. But you and your readers should know that the Pacific salmon stocks are seriously depleted. Farming salmon is rife with problems too, including sea lice that endanger the wild stocks. If you love salmon, you need to be aware of the critical problems facing this species, and perhaps make another fish choice that's less problematic. Arctic char, anyone? Save salmon for the really special occasions, and make sure the salmon you're buying is wild, not farmed. Thanks!

I like Susur Lee's recipe for Tonnato Sauce on Poached Octopus - a nice variation on the more traditional veal tonnato. The octopus is poached with fennel, infusing it with flavor, and then wrapped and pressed overnight. Slice it thinly and pour on a stream of thick tonnato sauce (like a mayonnaise made with tuna). The balance of fish flavors is fantastic! A great summer time dish.
