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

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dill, salt, black pepper, honey, mustard, and smoked paprika to create a marinade.

Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Let marinate for 15-30 minutes.

Remove the cedar plank from the water and place it on the grill for 3-5 minutes until it starts to smoke.

Place the marinated salmon fillets skin-side down on the cedar plank.

Top the salmon with sliced red onion and lemon slices for added flavor.

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

Check internal temperature; it should reach 145°F for safe consumption.

Remove the cedar plank from the grill carefully using tongs.

Let the salmon rest for a few minutes before serving.

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
