How to make it 

Make ranch: Whisk together all ingredients. Cover and chill at least 30 minutes.

Make slaw: Toss together all ingredients in a large bowl.

Prep fish: Whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, and oregano in a baking dish. Add fish and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Cook chickpeas: Heat oil in a sauté pan on grates of a grill set to high. Add chickpeas and cook until crispy, stirring constantly. Season with salt and pepper.

Cook fish: Season top of fish with salt and pepper, place on grill, salt-side down, and cook until golden brown and slightly charred, about 4 minutes. Carefully turn over with a spatula and repeat, cooking until fish flakes easily.

To serve, put 4 to 5 oz of fish over slaw, drizzle with the dill ranch, and top with crispy chickpeas. If desired, garnish with chopped dill and thinly sliced green onion.
