Wine Pairings by @grapefriend

Pinot Noir is a classic match for salmon – try it as a sparkling rosé to offset the sweet chile.

Beer Pairings

Go for a Kolsch. The low malt and bitterness pair well with the sweet apples and vinaigrette.

4. Make Vinaigrette: Whisk together vinegar, sweet chile sauce and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a small bowl.

To Serve: Arrange arugula, apples and pecans on a serving platter. Top with salmon and drizzle with vinaigrette.

Pro Tip:

Don't be afraid to get a good sear on the salmon. It'll add great flavor to this salad.

Pro Tip: When searing fish, always start with placing the fish skin-side down. The skin acts as a barrier, preventing the fragile flesh from getting blasted with direct heat.

Spice it Up!: Add some crumbled feta!
