# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Season salmon fillets on both sides with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear salmon fillets for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
02 - In a large pot over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil. Sauté minced garlic and grated ginger until aromatic. Add bell pepper, mushrooms, and carrot. Sauté until vegetables begin to soften.
03 - Stir in red curry paste and cook for 1 minute. Pour in vegetable broth and coconut milk, stirring to combine. Add soy sauce and fish sauce if using. Bring to a simmer and season with salt and black pepper.
04 - Cook ramen noodles according to package instructions in a separate pot. Drain and divide among serving bowls.
05 - Flake the cooked salmon into large pieces. Arrange bok choy and flaked salmon over the noodles in each bowl. Ladle hot coconut broth with vegetables over the top.
06 - Squeeze fresh lime juice over each bowl. Garnish with coriander leaves and provide lime wedges on the side. Serve hot.

# Extra Tips and Tricks:

01 - For added heat, include sliced fresh chili or a drizzle of chili oil at serving.
02 - Use high-quality salmon for the best texture and flavor.
03 - Substitute chicken broth for vegetable broth if preferred, but note this changes dietary suitability.
