Soak the cedar plank in water for at least 1 hour.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F).

Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels.

Brush the salmon with olive oil on both sides.

Season the salmon with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

In a small bowl, mix honey, mustard, and soy sauce.

Spread the mixture over the top of the salmon fillets.

Place the soaked cedar plank on the grill grates for 3-4 minutes until it begins to smoke.

Carefully place the salmon on the cedar plank, skin-side down.

Close the grill lid and cook for 12-15 minutes until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

Remove the plank from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.

Garnish with fresh herbs, lemon slices, and green onions before serving.
