- Fill the belly of the fish with salt, parsley, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
- Close the two ends of the parchment paper.
- Wrap the fish externally also with aluminum foil, rolling it like a candy.
- Now add all the flavors: yellow and red cherry tomatoes, basil, parsley, garlic in its skin, salt, pepper, white wine (optional), and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
- Close gently, not too tight, just delicately.
- Place in the air fryer and cook at 180°C for about 18-20 minutes. The cooking time depends on the size of the fish.
- Check if the fish is cooked by pulling the anal fin; if it comes off easily, it is done.
