The simplest recipe, but one that will fill you with joy. This poached salmon in white wine will make a perfect weeknight dinner because it’s quick to prepare, but will also live up to a luxury Saturday night meal. To accompany this dish, I suggest Château Ste-Michelle Chardonnay, a fantastic white wine under the $ 20 mark that will offer hints of red apple and pear.

Saison Voatsiperifery, 6%

MABRASSERIE

Season with pepper from Madagascar, a pepper with wooded aromas and citrus fruits, this beer will offer you rich and warm notes of pepper as well as aromas of citrus zest. The beer pepper notes will be complementary to white wine and thyme of the recipe while lemon notes will resonate with the juice and the zest used. Very dry, it will recall notes of white wine, but more raised by the wild pepper of Madagascar. See the product
