Stage 2 - 5 min.
Cut 250 g salmon fillet into 2 cm (1 inch) cubes, or thereabouts, keeping only the flesh and removing any skin and bones.

Pour 2 tablespoons olive oil into a non-stick pan on medium heat. When this is hot, add the chopped shallot, salt and pepper and cook for 1 or 2 minutes.
Stage 4 - 7 min.
Stage 5 - 4 min.
Pour 2 tablespoons olive oil into a frying pan and once this is nice and hot add the cubes of salmon. Cook for a bare 2 to 3 minutes, so that the cubes are browned on the sides. Do not cook any longer or you will end up with salmon purée.
Remove the salmon from the pan onto a plate and set aside.

Remarks
If you don't have any yoghurt, you can replace it with cream, but this adds a lot more calories.
And to drink?
A Cretan dry white wine, like the Vilana variety typical of this lovely island.
Keeping: 1 or 2 days in the fridge, folded in a plastic film.

Roscoff loaf
This speciality bread from Roscoff (a small town in Brittany, northwest France) is enriched with onions, red wine and smoked sausage. What really sets this bread apart is that instead of water, the dough is made with red wine in which the sliced onions are left to soak overnight. The onions are drained next day and cooked before being mixed into the dough. This gives the bread a very distinctive flavour: onions, red win, smoked sausage.

As you can see, there's very little added sugar in this recipe, so it's a very chocolatey and bitter-sweet tart. November 16th 2013299 K 15 2 hours 30 min.
