Directions
Add water to come inch up the sides of a large pot and fit it with a steamer basket. Bring the water to a simmer over high heat. Place the potatoes in the steamer basket, cover, and steam until very tender, about 5 to 8 minutes
Meanwhile, whisk together the lemon juice, thyme, chile flakes, tablespoons of the oil, and ¼ teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Season the halibut fillets on both sides with salt and black pepper. Cook until opaque throughout, to 5 minutes per side.
Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a separate large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallot and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 2 to minutes.
Add ¼ cup water and as much kale as will fit in the skillet and cook, tossing frequently and adding more kale when there is room, until tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve the halibut with the potatoes and kale. Drizzle with the lemon-thyme vinaigrette.
