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.

A Cretan dry white wine, like the Vilana variety typical of this lovely island.
