Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.

3. In a skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Sear the salmon fillets skin-side down for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.

4. In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Sauté the onions and garlic until fragrant.

5. Add the diced tomatoes, bell pepper, and carrots to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.

6. Stir in the rice and cook for another 2 minutes.

7. Pour in the milk and bring to a simmer. Cover the skillet and cook for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is cooked through.

8. Meanwhile, place the seared salmon fillets on a baking sheet. Squeeze lemon juice over the fillets and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the salmon is cooked to your liking.

9. In a small saucepan, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, and juice of half a lemon. Heat over low heat for 2-3 minutes.

10. Stir in the fresh spinach to the rice mixture until wilted.

11. Serve the lemon butter salmon on top of the vegetable rice. Drizzle with the soy sauce and lemon mixture.

Special Tips or Variations:

- Feel free to customize the vegetable rice with your favorite vegetables such as peas, corn, or broccoli.

- You can add a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or dill for added flavor.

- For a bit of heat, add red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the lemon butter sauce.
