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

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

Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels.

Brush the salmon with olive oil to coat evenly.

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

In a small bowl, mix honey, mustard, soy sauce, and garlic to create a glaze.

Spread the glaze over the salmon fillet evenly.

Place the soaked cedar plank on the grill and close the lid 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, or until salmon flakes easily with a fork.

Remove the cedar plank from the grill, and let the salmon rest for 5 minutes.

Garnish with lemon slices and fresh herbs before serving.
