Dissolve the mixture in water. Salt would dissolve (I assume salt is sodium chloride). Filter out the glass and iodine and dry them. Evaporate the water to get the salt. Now dissolve the glass and iodine in ethanol or chloroform. Iodine dissolves leaving the glass which can be removed by filtering. The iodine can be recovered by evaporation of the ethanol or chloroform.
