Steps:
- Halve the potatoes and place in a pot. Cover the potatoes with water, bring to a boil, then salt the water and cook the potatoes until tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Halve the Brussels sprouts, place them cut side down on a cutting board, thinly slice lengthwise, and reserve.
- While the potatoes cook, season the fish with Old Bay and wrap the fish with bacon. Heat 1/2 tablespoon of the vegetable oil over medium-high heat in an ovenproof skillet. When the oil is hot, add the fish and cook for 2 minutes on each side to crisp up the bacon, then transfer to the oven for 7 to 8 minutes to cook through.
- While the fish cooks, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the sliced Brussels sprouts and toss to coat in the oil. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, then add the shallots, bell pepper, garlic, and thyme. Toss for a minute or two more, then add about 1/2 cup of the stock and cook it out for 2 to 3 minutes more. Turn off the heat and melt in the butter, then garnish with the tarragon.
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the hot pot. Mash with the sour cream, the chives, the remaining 1/4 cup of stock, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the fish on the Brussels sprouts with mashers and a wedge of lemon alongside.
BACON-WRAPPED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH CREAMY LEMON DIP
Most recipes for bacon-wrapped Brussels sprouts call for holding everything together with toothpicks, but we skip that step. Setting the bacon seam-side down on the baking sheet makes it seal in the hot oven. The maple syrup glaze helps to make each bite sweet and caramelized.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Trim the stem ends from the Brussels sprouts, and halve lengthwise. Put them in a medium bowl, and toss with 1 teaspoon salt.
- Lay the bacon strips next to each other on a work surface. Brush liberally with about 1/2 the maple syrup, then halve crosswise. Wrap each Brussels sprout half with 1 strip of bacon, syrup-side out, so the seam is on the flat side. Place the sprouts seam-side down on the parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between them. Brush them with a bit more syrup, and grind a little black pepper on top. Roast, rotating the baking sheet halfway through, until the bacon is crisp and the sprouts are tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix the mayonnaise, most of the lemon zest and all the lemon juice in a small serving dish. Sprinkle the remaining lemon zest on top. Put about 1/2 cup maple syrup in a second small serving dish, and stir in as much black pepper and crushed red pepper flakes as you like.
- Transfer the sprouts to a platter, and serve with the lemon mayonnaise and peppered maple syrup, for dipping.

Steps:
- Dissolve 1 tablespoon of salt in enough water to cover the Brussels sprouts in a bowl, and soak the sprouts in the salty water for 1 hour. Drain off the water, and toss the sprouts in olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper to coat thoroughly.
- Preheat oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C).
- Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until just beginning to brown at the edges, 5 to 8 minutes. Reduce heat to medium; stir in the shallot and mushrooms, then cook until the shallots turn translucent, about 5 more minutes. Sprinkle in the garlic, and cook 1 minute, then stir in the sherry and cream until well combined. Bring the mixture to a boil, and stir until reduced by half. The thickened sauce should coat the back of a spoon.
- While the sauce is cooking, lay the Brussels sprouts, cut sides down, onto a baking sheet, and bake in the preheated oven until the sprouts are browned, about 15 minutes. Transfer the browned sprouts to the sauce, toss to coat, and season to taste with salt and black pepper.

Tips:
- Choose the right halibut fillet: Look for a fillet that is thick and firm, with no signs of discoloration or bruising.
- Cook the bacon until it is crispy but not overcooked: This will help to prevent the bacon from becoming tough and chewy.
- Use a high-quality olive oil: This will help to enhance the flavor of the halibut and vegetables.
- Season the halibut and vegetables generously: This will help to bring out their natural flavors.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the halibut: This will help to ensure that the fish cooks evenly.
- Serve the halibut immediately after it is cooked: This will help to ensure that the fish is moist and flaky.
Conclusion:
Bacon-wrapped halibut with shredded Brussels sprouts and sour cream chive mashed potatoes is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The halibut is cooked to perfection, the bacon is crispy and flavorful, and the Brussels sprouts and mashed potatoes are creamy and delicious. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
