Ingredients
- 1 salmon steak (or fillet)
- 7.05 oz cherry tomatoes
- juice of 1 lemon
- as needed extra virgin olive oil
- as needed salt (optional)
Tools
- Air Fryer
Steps
First, prepare the parchment paper. Cut a large sheet and accordion fold it, finally crumple the sides at both ends with your hands, creating little boats, so you won’t even need to use string.
Cut the salmon steak in half. Open the half steak by making a lateral cut: in this way, it will open and you’ll have a wider, thinner piece. Do the same with the other half to get two separate portions.
Transfer the salmon to the parchment paper and add the cherry tomatoes cut in half, the juice of lemon, and a drizzle of EVO oil. With the other half of the ingredients, do the same for the other salmon.
Cook in air fryer at 340°F for 10 minutes. Alternatively, you can bake it in a preheated fan oven at 375°F for about 20 minutes.
It will be juicy and tender. Enjoy your meal!
Tips for You
✔ You can use the steak or the salmon fillets. Additionally, it can be replaced with cod, in this case, I recommend following this recipe: Mediterranean Cod.
✔ For this recipe, I used the COSORI dual basket air fryer: thanks to the two separate baskets, it allows you to cook two dishes at the same time with different temperatures and times. You can see it on Amazon here: dual basket air fryer.
