Steps:
- Cover a 10-by-15-inch baking sheet with 2 large pieces of plastic wrap. Set aside.
- Combine the mozzarella and milk in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Cook slowly, stirring with a wooden spoon, over medium-low heat until the mozzarella melts, 10 to 15 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove the mozzarella from the milk, placing it directly on the prepared baking sheet. Using your hands and a spoon, spread the mozzarella quickly into a 10-by-15-inch rectangle. Smooth over any holes or tears.
- Lay 10 of the basil leaves on the mozzarella and cover with the salmon in a single layer. Top with 10 more basil leaves.
- Lift the long side of the mozzarella and roll it into a compact jellyroll. Wrap tightly in the plastic and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- To serve, cut the mozzarella crosswise into 1/2-inch slices and arrange on a serving platter. Trim with remaining basil leaves.

Tips:
- Choose the right salmon fillet: Look for a center-cut fillet that is about 1 inch thick and has evenly distributed fat.
- Season the salmon well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, and dried herbs to season the salmon before cooking. This will help to enhance the flavor of the fish.
- Cook the salmon gently: Salmon is a delicate fish, so it is important to cook it gently to prevent it from becoming dry or overcooked. Bake or pan-fry the salmon over medium heat until it is just cooked through.
- Don't overcook the salmon: Salmon is best when it is cooked to medium-rare or medium. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough.
- Serve the salmon with a simple sauce: A simple sauce made with melted butter, lemon juice, and herbs is a great way to complement the flavor of the salmon.

Salmon with mozzarella is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion.
