Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F and lightly grease a rimmed baking pan with olive oil.
2
Pat the pieces of salmon dry on both sides with a paper towel.

Place your salmon in your pan, skin side down, and add a teaspoon of olive oil on top of each piece of fish. Use your fingers to spread it evenly.

Season each piece of salmon with the equal parts of salt and black pepper.

Add two slices of mozzarella on each piece of salmon.

Distribute cherry tomato halves evenly on top of the mozzarella and sprinkle minced garlic over them.

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, bring balsamic vinegar to a simmer over medium-low heat.
9
Chop four of the basil leaves finely and add it to the simmering vinegar. Let it simmer until the vinegar is reduced to half.
10
Slice the remaining basil leaves thinly.
