Fish with Brussel Sprout Hash

We bought some fresh brussel sprouts at the farmers' market on a whim. I wasn't sure what to do with them, and then thought a hash with some potatoes and mushrooms with fish would be good. I found afterward that this was not a unique idea (oh, Google...).

Anywho, this is a bit different than anything that I found, and all mine!

Ingredients:
2 cups brussel sprouts, cleaned and halved
2 cups potatoes, cut into 1/4" cubes
2 cups mushrooms, cut into quarters (or sliced)
2 Tablespoons fresh thyme
1 small onion diced
2 cloves garlic
1 large hot cherry pepper (or other medium-heat pepper)
1 cup pancetta, cubed
Salt and Pepper
Olive oil
2 fish filets - hake, sea bass, or other firm white fish
Semolina flour

Directions:
Heat large sautee pan to medium high heat. Add 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil, and add pancetta and cook to allow fat to render out - 6-8 minutes. Remove pancetta and add the potatoes and then the brussel sprouts and mushrooms and thyme on top, along with some salt and pepper. Let sit for 5-6 minutes to allow the potatoes to brown and then stir and add onion, garlic, hot peppers and pancetta. Let brown again and stir. Repeat a couple of times until all vegetables are done.

Pre heat oven to 400 degrees. Pat fish filets dry and put a little olive oil on each surface. Generously salt and pepper and then coat in semolina. Sautee over medium high heat until the fish is about 3/4 done. Flip and put in oven for 5-6 minutes until the fish is done.
