Season both sides of the salmon with the seasoning mixture.

Peel the blood orange and cut it into sections, squeezing out the juice.

Drizzle about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil over the salmon and shallots.

Place the salmon in a ceramic Le Creuset dish and cook in the oven at 250°F (121°C).

Cook for about 20 minutes, then baste the salmon with the olive oil.

Continue cooking for another 10-15 minutes, checking for doneness.

Add sliced tomatoes and avocado to the dish before serving.

Serve the salmon on butter lettuce with some of the citrusy oil drizzled on top.
