Ingredients

2 salmon fillets
3 tablespoon melted butter
2 cloves of garlic
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Chop the salmon fillets into cubes.
To the melted butter add the finely chopped garlic, lemon juice and sesame seeds, and give it a good stir.
Pour the butter mixture over the salmon bites and toss well to coat.
Season them with salt and pepper, then arrange the salmon bites in an air fryer drawer, making sure they are in one single layer.

Notes

If you don't have an air fryer, you can also cook these salmon bites in the oven at 200 degrees Celsius (390 Fahrenheit) for 10-12 minutes, there is no need to turn the bites over during cooking.
Alternatively, you can also pan-fry them over a medium heat, just make sure they go in a large enough frying pan so that they are in a single layer. They can break easily, so best to just shake the pan gently to ensure they cook on all sides.
