- Turn on broiler.
- Cook for a few minutes.
- Move pan to broiler and leave until the cheese is well melted and just started to brown.

Steps:
- In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the onion for about 3 minutes, or until soft, stirring occasionally.
- Add the fish, broth, wine, and pepper to the skillet. Bring to a simmer, still over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.
- Meanwhile, trim and discard the ends of the bok choy stalks. Slice the stalks crosswise into 1/4-inch pieces. Transfer to a small bowl. Cut the bok choy leaves crosswise into thin strips. Transfer to a separate small bowl. Halve the tomatoes. Add to the bok choy leaves. Set aside.
- Put the flour in a small bowl. Add the water, whisking to dissolve. Set aside.
- When the fish is done, use a slotted spatula or slotted spoon to transfer to a platter. Cover with aluminum foil to keep warm. (The fish will continue to cook slightly as it stands.)
- Add the bok choy stalks to the skillet. Increase the heat to medium high and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 1 to 2 minutes, or until tender-crisp, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the flour mixture. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until thick and bubbly, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to low.
- Add the bok choy leaves and tomatoes. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the leaves are tender and the mixture cools slightly, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat (leave the stove on).
- Stir in the sour cream. Return to the heat and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until warmed through, stirring occasionally. Spoon over the fish.
- Cook's Tip on Bok Choy
- To make slicing bok choy easier, stack the leaves and roll them up together, starting from a long side. Slice the roll crosswise into thin strips.
