Soak the cedar plank in water for about 2 hours.

Preheat the grill and place the soaked cedar plank on it for about 5 minutes on each side to sterilize and infuse cedar aroma.

Rub the salmon with salt, black pepper, and olive oil.

Place the salmon on the cedar plank and return it to the grill.

Add hickory chips to the grill and maintain a temperature of about 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).

Smoke the salmon for about 40 minutes, checking for firmness to ensure it's cooked through.

Finely chop the chives and garlic.

In a bowl, combine the chopped chives, garlic, and a full pack of cream cheese, mixing well.

Add black pepper to the cream cheese mixture and mix again, then set aside to let flavors meld.

Once the salmon is done, remove it from the grill and check for doneness.

Serve the smoked salmon on bagels topped with the garlic and chive cream cheese.
