Wine Pairing Suggestion
A medium-bodied white wine like Chardonnay or a Pinot Grigio pairs excellently with Tagliatelle al Salmone. The wine's creamy texture and subtle oakiness (in the case of Chardonnay) or its crispness and lightness (in the case of Pinot Grigio) will complement the richness of the salmon and the creaminess of the sauce without overpowering the dish.
