Broiled Butterfish with Braised Shiitakes & Bok Choy

Even though my friends have coined me the "slave driver", all the workers at the local Smart & Final recognize me as the girl who buys heavy cream by the gallon and I've developed the tiniest callus on the tip of my thumb, it was all for a good ...
