Place the salmon fillets in the Airfryer basket and cook for 8 minutes. Adjust the time based on the thickness of the fillets, adding or reducing by 1-2 minutes as needed.

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
Stir in heavy cream and let it warm through (do not boil).
Add chopped coriander, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Toss in cherry tomatoes, if using, and cook for a minute until softened.
