Goals from Matthew Lund and Brandon Thomas-Asante earned Salford a routine win over managerless Oldham.
Having parted company with manager Keith Curle, the Latics were unable to turn their fortunes around.
It was a comfortable afternoon for the Ammies, who made it four games unbeaten and climbed to 11th in the table.
Midfielder Lund opened the scoring on the stroke of half-time, smartly glancing a header into the far corner of Jayson Leutwiler's goal.
Gary Bowyer's side remained on top in the early stages of the second half before the game was brought to a halt by referee Paul Howard when Oldham fans threw a handful of flares on to the field as they chanted in protest against the club's ownership.
Salford doubled their lead 10 minutes after play resumed, Brandon Thomas-Asante controlling a volleyed finish into the back of the net.
The defeat saw Oldham drop back into the relegation zone in 23rd place.
