Submitted by ellie_

"This was delish! The original recipe called for broccoli rabe but I used regular brocolli when I made this, cooking the broccoli until tender.Recipe source: Health (march 2010)"

 

• Ready In: 25mins

• 1⁄4 cup golden raisin
• 1 lemon, cut into wedges (garnish)

directions

1. Over medium heat heat a skillet.
2. Coat both sides of salmon with seasoning and then place in skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes on each side or until done and blackened.

Excellent dish! I loved all the flavors! I was surprised to see raisins in this but enjoyed the sweetness they gave. Served with toasted orzo. Made for ZWT#9 2013 for Hot Stuff!

Made as written and I very much enjoyed this dish! I used McCormick's Cajun seasoning and liked that it did not add heat to the salmon (I do not like spicy foods). I made this with baby broccoli and it cooked up quickly. Made for ZWT9.

This was really good. Not sure which I enjoyed the most, the salmon or the broccoli. The salmon came out nice and moist with a touch of heat. The broccoli had the sweetness of the raisins. I sure would not have thought to pair the two together but it seemed to work. Can't beat this for a 6.5 WW meal. Thanks for posting. :)
