I didn’t want to gloat, but after I took the pawn with my bishop, my opponent immediately resigned. All things considered, I thought it was a nice tactic.
I said white to play and win, and I thought the move I did in the game was the best move I could find, and better than immediately taking the knight.
I don’t bother putting my games through a chess engine. No point in it at my level. Although occasionally I’ll have an engine ponder a specific position in a game if it was a spot where I couldn’t find any decent moves at all other than neutral or feeling like I’m in zugzweig.
My definition of a neutral move is something that doesn’t help your defense and most certainly doesn’t do anything helpful in an offensive capacity. Just a move to make and cross your fingers it’s not a bad move. 
For anybody that’s wondering why Bxf5 is such a good move is that black can’t take the bishop without white’s knight forking black’s King and Queen. Like I mentioned, for most chess players, the knight fork is obvious, but for lower level players, that tactic might seem pretty cool.
