Halibut contains a variety of nutrients that are good for your heart, such as omega-3 fatty acids, niacin, selenium, and magnesium, while chickpeas are a rich source of vitamins, minerals and fiber that can help with digestion, weight management, and prevention of disease. 

Serve with some bread for some added fiber. You can also use another white fish like tilapia as an alternative.
