Cut the broccoli into florets. Peel the stems using a small paring knife and slice them crosswise into approximately 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Place the bread pieces in a food processor and pulse to make coarse crumbs. Reserve. Melt the butter in a skillet. Cook the onion and garlic over medium-low heat, stirring, for 5 minutes or until soft. Add the crumbs and salt. Stir over medium heat until crisp. In a large saucepan of boiling water, cook the broccoli for 5 minutes or until tender. Drain. Place the broccoli in a serving dish. Sprinkle with the crumbs. MICROWAVE IT! Microwave the broccoli with 1/2 cup water on High for about 6 minutes.
