  2. Heat the canola oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the yellow onion, carrot and celery and cook, stirring, for 6 to 7 minutes until the yellow onion softens.
  3. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the vegetable broth, water and soy sauce, bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer for 8 minutes until the carrot is just tender.
  5. Add the rice noodles and the bok choy stems and simmer for 4 minutes, stirring to keep the noodles from clumping.
  6. Gently add the salmon and the bok choy leaves, cover and simmer gently for 4 to 5 minutes until the salmon flakes and reaches 145°F (63°C).
  7. Turn off the heat and stir in the lime juice and black pepper.
  8. Ladle into bowls and top with the green onions and cilantro.
