Where & How to Record SATISFACTION of LIEN? (Los Angeles County)

Case: Credit Card Collection Attorney obtained Default Judgment in Superior Court, LA County  on $5k unsecured and attached LIEN right before they cashed my check which paid off the Judgment in full.. Escrow officer informed me they will hold $10k and send at least $5k of it to the creditor/their attorney to satisfy the lien (that's already fully satisfied). 

Course, I've already contacted the creditor's attorney who mailed me a notarized letter of satisfaction that apparently I need to file with the LA county County Clerk/Recorder(?) and told me over the phone I will have to include a check but didnt know for what amount and payable to who.

My question would simply be what is the Fee to record the satisfaction of debt/lien and where do I mail that check (payable to who?) and do I have to fill out some sort of court form or do i simply registered-mail the notarized letter of satisfaction along with a check and thats that?!
