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

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.
