Boil 1/2 inch of water on high heat in a covered skillet. When it starts to boil, add broccoli and a little salt and cover. Let it cook on medium heat for 3-4 minutes. Turn off heat and remove broccoli and let it drain in a colander. Run cold water on broccoli to stop the cooking and keep the bright green color. Let drain. Discard the boiled water and wipe skillet with paper towel.
