Ingredients

1/3 cup Monini GranFruttato EVOO
1/4 cup Balsamic vinegar glaze
1 garlic clove, grated
1 lemon halved
1 (2-lb.) skinless center-cut salmon fillet
Kosher salt
Mixed tender herbs: such as parsley, cilantro, dill, and/or chives; for serving

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 275°F. Whisk Monini GranFruttato EVOO, balsamic vinegar glaze, and garlic in a medium bowl. Pour half of the balsamic oil mixture into a 2.5-qt. baking dish and swirl to coat. Thinly slice a lemon half and remove any seeds; scatter slices in the dish.
Season salmon on all sides with salt and place in the dish. Pour remaining balsamic vinegar glaze over salmon, spreading evenly over flesh with a pastry brush or spoon. Roast 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and baste fish with balsamic oil pooled in the dish. Return to the oven and continue to roast until flesh flakes apart easily with a spoon but is not quite cooked through, 10–20 minutes longer.
Use a spoon to break up salmon into irregular pieces. Arrange salmon and lemon slices on a platter. Drizzle with any balsamic oil left in the dish, squeeze remaining lemon half over, and scatter some herbs around.
