Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 25 min.

Prepare and chop 1 leek.

Prepare and chop 1 shallot.

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.

Stage 3 - 2 min.

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.

Then add the chopped leek and mix well. Cook uncovered until the leek is just tender but still nice and green.

Remove from the heat and keep hot.

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.

Stage 6 - 3 min.

Put the pan back on medium heat and add 100 g feta cut into small pieces. Stir until it is melted.

Stage 7 - 5 min.

Add 150 g plain yoghurt and 1 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 ½ lemon if you like and remove from the heat.

Stage 9 - 5 min.

Arrange on the plates: lay a bed of leek and pour the salmon and sauce on top.

Serve without delay.

Remarks

Use a Greek-style yogurt if possible, as it is smooth and a little sharp.

If you don't have any yoghurt, you can replace it with cream, but this adds a lot more calories.
