Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch pan. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes on medium speed).
Turn mixer to low, slowly stir in the salt and flour. Continue mixing until smooth, stopping to scrape the sides of the bowl if necessary.
Pour the dough into your 9x13 inch pan, then pat to evenly spread the dough in the pan.
Bake at 325 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until shortbread is golden brown. Remove from oven, sprinkle with a generous amount of powdered sugar to top. Cut the shortbread into squares or rectangles while warm, but allow the shortbread to cool completely before removing from pan.
