Make the marinade by adding olive oil, maple syrup, soy sauce, salt, and coriander to a large mixing bowl and mix well.

Remove the skin from the fresh salmon fillets if applicable.

Cut the salmon fillets into roughly 1-inch sized cubes.

Place the salmon cubes in the bowl with the marinade and gently toss to coat them evenly.

Cover the bowl and set it in the fridge for at least 5 to 10 minutes.

Preheat the air fryer to 360 degrees Fahrenheit.

Place the salmon pieces in the air fryer basket in a single layer without overlapping.

Air fry the salmon bites at 360 degrees Fahrenheit for about 5 to 7 minutes.

Carefully flip the salmon bites over using tongs and air fry for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, or until fully cooked and flaky.

Check the internal temperature with an instant-read thermometer; it should read 145 degrees Fahrenheit.

Remove the salmon bites from the air fryer and place them in a serving dish.

Sprinkle with sesame seeds or bagel seasoning and serve with a dipping sauce like teriyaki or in a rice bowl.
