Stage 2 - 5 min.
Cut 500 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 4 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 4 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 7 - 5 min.

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.
