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

Mix lemon juice, dill, garlic, black pepper, sea salt, and smoked paprika (if using) and spread over the top of the salmon.

Remove from heat, let rest 2 minutes, then serve with a wedge of lemon and a side of non‑starchy vegetables.
