Instructions

Season the salmon fillets with salt, pepper, onion powder, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Place the seasoned fillets in a baking dish and set aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, sugar, chopped green onions, and fresh cilantro. Pour this flavorful marinade evenly over the salmon fillets. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully penetrate.
Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
Place the marinated salmon on a broiling sheet. Put it into the preheated oven and bake for 5 minutes. Then, increase the heat to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C), carefully turn the fillets, and broil for an additional 5 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
