Start with an 8 ounce filet of Atlantic salmon that has been marinated in a blend of citrus juices, olive oil, and spices.

Pre-soak a cedar plank in water.

Place the marinated salmon on the cedar plank.

Sprinkle about a quarter teaspoon of kosher salt and pepper on the salmon for flavor.

Place the cedar plank with the salmon in a 500-degree pizza oven.

Cook the salmon for about 12 minutes until it has a little bit of crispness around the edges.

While the salmon is cooking, make the jalapeno risotto.

In a hot saute pan, melt 1 ounce of butter.

Add 2 ounces of sliced mushrooms and 1 teaspoon of diced jalapenos to the pan.

Cook the mushrooms for about a minute until they start to cook down.

Add 6 ounces of cooked risotto and 5 ounces of spicy tomato cream sauce to the pan.

Saute the mixture for another 30 seconds until all ingredients are well incorporated.

Garnish the jalapeno risotto with asiago cheese and fresh chopped parsley.

Check on the salmon to see if it's ready to plate.

Serve the salmon on a hot skillet on the cedar plank with a lemon, a side of jalapeno risotto, and fresh steamed broccoli.
