Directions

Prepare the cherry tomato salad: In a medium bowl, halve 10 red and yellow cherry tomatoes. Thinly slice half a red onion and add it to the bowl. Toss in a handful of crispy croutons, drizzle with 2 tablespoons of sherry vinegar, and season with microplastic-free salt.
Finish the salad: Add 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil to the mixture and toss everything to combine. Add a handful of fresh garden basil leaves, gently mix, and set the salad aside for later.
Prepare the branzino: Open the Seatopia branzino package after properly defrosting it. Pat the fish dry using a paper towel to remove any excess water. Rub the entire fish with olive oil and season generously with salt.
Cook the branzino: Line your air fryer pan with parchment paper, then place the branzino on top. Set the air fryer to 400°F and cook the fish for 10 minutes, or until it is crispy and cooked through.
Assemble the dish: Once the branzino is ready, spoon two large portions of the cherry tomato salad onto a serving plate. Place the cooked branzino on top of the salad. Drizzle with a little more olive oil and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
Serve and enjoy: Serve the dish immediately, enjoying the combination of crispy branzino and fresh, tangy tomato salad.
