When content creator Jilly Anais walked the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Runway Show at the W South Beach for Miami Swim Week in June, she blew everyone away with her tropical and metallic swimwear looks.

The 28-year-old recording artist and actress is the definition of a multihyphenate, as the former Miss Teen Houston is also a twice-published cookbook author. For that reason, when we sat down with Anais earlier this summer, we simply had to ask what her go-to date night recipe is—and it’s one she and her boyfriend, Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson, both love.

“My go-to recipe would definitely be, [my] jalapeño garlic salmon with Alfredo pasta. When I tell you that really kept my man, like that was the recipe, I would definitely say that one,” Anais says with a laugh. “Nothing about it is simple, but it’s simple enough, you know, and the jalapeño gives the salmon that extra flair. The homemade Alfredo is just top tier. “
