Step 1
Pat the 4 cod fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with 1 tsp salt and 0.5 tsp black pepper.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the cod in the skillet and cook until golden and opaque, about 4 minutes per side. Remove to a plate.
Step 3
Reduce heat to low. Add 1 tbsp olive oil and 4 minced garlic cloves to the skillet; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 4
Stir in 0.5 cup Greek yogurt and the juice of half the lemon. Cook, stirring, until the sauce is warm and smooth, about 2 minutes. Season with salt to taste.
Step 5
Toss the 4 cups mixed greens with the juice of the remaining lemon half and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve the cod with the garlic sauce spooned over, alongside the salad and lemon wedges.
