Correct move as white here?

I went Bf7 to recapture and prevent castling. Stockfish tells me the correct move was to take the knight with my Queen, but then I'd just get forked the next move by a pawn, lose my bishop anyways, and his king would be in a better position? What am I missing? I can't for the life of me figure out where Stockfish thinks the mistake is
