In a small saucepan, combine the lentils, minced garlic, half the salt, and 1 1/4 cups of the water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes until the lentils are tender. Drain any excess liquid.
While the lentils simmer, place a steamer basket in a skillet with the remaining water. Add the broccoli, cover, and steam for 5 to 6 minutes until bright green and tender. Remove the broccoli and set aside.
Wipe the skillet dry and heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the salmon with the remaining salt and the black pepper. Place the salmon in the skillet skin-side up and cook for 4 minutes. Flip and cook for 3 to 4 minutes more. Done when the fish flakes easily and is opaque in the center, 145°F.
Spoon the warm lentils onto the plate and top with the salmon. Serve the broccoli on the side and garnish the whole plate with the lemon zest.
