They used clever strategy and tactics. The Greeks gave out the idea that they were going to flee from Salamis, and so the Persians sent a third of their fleet around to cover the rear channel. This evened up the two adversaries actually present at the battle.
The Greeks also stayed in the strait at Salamis. The Persians, thinking the Greeks would try to escape in either direction, sat all night at their oars in a heavy sea swell to block any exit, and so were exhausted by the morning of the battle. They then had to enter the bay by splitting their fleet into two to go around each side of the island of Psyttaleia and so were on these two narrow fronts rather than is proper battle formation.
This allowed the Greeks to strike them from the flanks before they could reform. And this was particularly decisive as the lighter Greek ships relied on ramming the sides of the Persian ships which preferred to close with an enemy ship and fight it side on. They were able to drive into the sides of the extended lines of Persian ships.

How is the naval battle at salamis between the athenians and the Persians an example of cunning and intelligence over brute strength?
The battle was by a southern Greek alliance, led by Sparta with a strong Athenian naval contribution. The Greeks orchestrated the battle - giving misinformation to the Persians that the Greek fleet would attempt to flee, causing the Persians to split their fleet by sending a third of their ships to cover the western exit from the strait at Salamis, evening up the numbers available for the battle. They selected a battle position behind the island of Pysatallia which caused the Persian fleet to split in two around each side and move in two linear columns to get through the narrow straits, allowing the waiting Greek ships to pounce on their exposed flanks as they came through. By fighting in the narrow waters, they were able to use the manoeuverability of their smaller warships to ram their slower larger opponents.
