In a 12-inch skillet, combine the water, lemon juice, sliced garlic, olive oil, and half the salt. Bring the liquid to a simmer over medium heat.
Season the cod with the remaining salt and black pepper. Carefully place the cod in the skillet and arrange the asparagus around it. Cover the skillet with a lid. Lower the heat to maintain a very gentle simmer and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until the fish is opaque and the asparagus is tender. Done when flakes easily and is opaque in the center, 145°F.
Carefully lift the cod and asparagus from the skillet and place them on a plate. Spoon a little of the poaching liquid over the top and garnish with fresh parsley.
