Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Cover a 10-by-15-inch baking sheet with 2 large pieces of plastic wrap. Set aside.

  2. Step 2

    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.

  3. Step 3

    Lay 10 of the basil leaves on the mozzarella and cover with the salmon in a single layer. Top with 10 more basil leaves.

  4. Step 4

    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.

  5. Step 5

    To serve, cut the mozzarella crosswise into ½-inch slices and arrange on a serving platter. Trim with remaining basil leaves.
