Start by soaking a cedar plank for cooking.

In a bowl, combine honey, olive oil, lemon juice, sea salt, black pepper, basil, chopped parsley, chopped rosemary, minced garlic, and red wine vinegar.

Eyeball the consistency of the marinade and adjust by adding more olive oil and red wine vinegar if needed.

Place the salmon fillets in a plastic Tupperware dish with skin on.

Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring it's well coated, and reserve some marinade for later use with tomatoes.

Let the salmon marinate for about 1 hour along with the tomatoes.

Wrap a sheet pan with foil for easy cleanup and place a raised rack on top.

Preheat the oven to the broil setting and char the soaked cedar plank on the top rack.

Once charred, lower the rack and set the oven to 375°F.

Place the salmon on the charred cedar plank and cook for about 7-12 minutes, checking for doneness until the salmon is firm and flakes easily.

Plate the salmon and tomatoes, drizzling with reserved marinade before serving.
