Thaw the codfish steaks.
Soften the chopped garlic cloves in olive oil. Add the hot water and, when it boils, the codfish steaks. Cook for about 10 minutes (until the flesh of the fish begins to come apart nicely).
Once the codfish steaks are cooked, remove them from the pan but leave the pan on the heat. Turn the heat down low, season the broth with salt, add the eggs one by one and let them poach for 3 to 4 minutes.
Place two slices of bread on each plate and sprinkle with plenty of chopped coriander. Remove the skin and bones from the fish, flake it, and arrange the flakes over the bread. Add a poached egg to each plate, drizzle with the broth, and sprinkle with chopped coriander.
