It will get very hot before it melts. At first, the salt particles may jump about and crackle as water (which may be trapped within the crystals) boils off. In time, if the heat source is sufficiently intense, the salt will melt and become a clear liquid.

Salt (NaCl) melts at 801C (1474 F) and boils at 1465 C (2669 F).

It would take quite a magnifiying glass to get it that hot so my guess is that you might get it to melt.

How can you retrieve salt from broken glass?

A properties of compounds problem. Since salt dissolves in water, and glass does not you can dissolve the glass-salt mixture can then filter out the glass particles, then evaporate the salt solution, and you would get your salt. Though what I would do is buy more salt, and broken glass is never fun to play around with, even in chemistry class.
