The air fryer salmon is an incredibly easy and quick fish main course to make with just a few simple ingredients. You can even prepare it at the last minute, and thanks to the air fryer, you won’t need to preheat it first. The salmon will be laid on very thin slices of potatoes and will cook with cherry tomatoes. It will result in a tender and juicy dish, unlike the usual dry and flaky salmon.
As an alternative to the air fryer, you can also cook it in the oven, in this case increasing the temperature and cooking times. Below, in the recipe description, everything is specified so you can choose the preferred cooking method.

Steps
Let’s prepare the parchment paper boats: they are very easy to make, just take two sheets of parchment paper and secure the two ends by twisting the parchment paper to create a sort of knot, in this way you will get very simple boats.
Cut a potato into very thin slices with a mandolin; you can also cut them with a knife trying to make them as thin as possible. If you can’t, you can slightly blanch the sliced potatoes to pre-cook them.
In the two boats, lay on the bottom the thin slices of potatoes, salt to taste, and drizzle with a bit of oil; place the salmon fillet on top and the cherry tomatoes at the sides. Finish with a pinch of salt and a drizzle of oil.
Cook in the air fryer at 338°F for about 10-12 minutes. It will not be necessary to turn it halfway through cooking. Alternatively, you can bake it in a hot oven at 374°F for about 20 minutes.
Remove and serve. Enjoy your meal!
