Blackened Salmon with Broccoli Rabe and Raisins

Copied from Real Simple's website

Ingredients:
-4 6-ounce pieces skinless salmon fillet
-2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning or blackened spice mix
-1 bunch broccoli rabe (about 1 pound)
-1 tablespoon olive oil
-2 shallots, sliced
-Kosher salt
-1/4 cup golden raisins
-1 lemon, cut into wedges

Directions:

1) Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Coat both sides of the salmon with the seasoning and cook, covered, until opaque throughout and blackened, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
2) Meanwhile, in another skillet, bring the broccoli rabe and 1/2 cup water to a simmer. Cook, covered, tossing occasionally, until tender, 3 to 4 minutes; drain and transfer to a plate.
3) Wipe out the second skillet and heat the oil over medium heat. Add the shallots and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Mix in the raisins and broccoli rabe. Serve with the salmon and lemon.
