Step by step recipe
Stage 2 - 5 min.
Cut 4.4 oz salmon fillet into 2 cm (1 inch) cubes, or thereabouts, keeping only the flesh and removing any skin and bones.
Stage 3 - 2 min.
Pour 1 tablespoon 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 1 tablespoon 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.

Stage 6 - 3 min.
Put the pan back on medium heat and add 1.8 oz feta cut into small pieces. Stir until it is melted.
Stage 7 - 5 min.
Add 2.6 oz Greek yoghurt and ½ teaspoon tomato paste, and bring to the boil while stirring.
Heat the serving plates.

Stage 8 - 5 min.
Return the salmon cubes to the pan and stir gently. Add the juice of ¼ lemon if you like and remove from the heat.

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.
