To make aioli: Place garlic, egg yolks and lemon juice in a food processor and blend until smooth. With machine running, drizzle oil into garlic mixture in a thin stream until a thick emulsion is formed and all oil has been used. Season with salt and pepper. Place 2 cups warm poaching liquid in a saucepan and add aioli. Whisk until smooth and cook slowly, whisking constantly over low heat until sauce thickens to the consistency of cream. Place 1 piece of toast in each of 4 bowls, place 1 cod fillet on top of each and spoon soup over. Sprinkle with Borage blossoms and serve.
