Fennel- and Dill-Rubbed Grilled SalmonMark Thomas

Be sure to buy the salmon with the skin on, which makes it much easier to handle as it grills. Keep in mind this is a special cut that your fish market or supermarket seafood counter may have to order. What to drink: Tom Douglas likes to pair this with a Washington State Chardonnay. Try: Columbia Crest 2002 Grand Estates Chardonnay ($11).

Market tip:

Look for Pimentón de la Vera at specialty foods stores, or order it from La Tienda (888-472-1022; tienda.com) or The Spanish Table (206-682-2827; spanishtable.com).
