Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until garlic is soft and fragrant but hasn't taken on any color, about 3 minutes. Add broccoli and reduce heat to low; season with 2 teaspoons salt. Cook, stirring gently a few times, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter; let cool completely. Serve with lemon wedges.
