Yes, salt can indeed burn. It has to be cooking at a very high temperature though and it will start popping and shooting up into the air. It has to cook at such high temperatures that it can not be done at home on your stove.

Why do you get a burn on your skin when you put table salt on it and cover it with regular ice?

This kind of burn is called an Alkaline burn. Salt is an Alkali, and when put on the skin and covered with ice the combination removes moisture from the top layer of skin. The Alkaline nature of the salt then burns the skin more readily since it's now been dehydrated from both the ice and salt combination.
