Perfect lemon icing glaze, with salted butter giving it an amazing taste.

In a large Pyrex measuring cup, the 4 cup capacity ones are the best, combine the sugar, lemon juice and lemon zest.
Now, again, I use salted butter. If you want to add another layer of taste, feel free to toss just a pinch of salt into the mix now. We all know how I feel about salt in icings, such as my buttercream icing recipe. The salt is a necessity to cut the sugar taste and add some complexity past that overwhelming sweet rush. Just the tiniest pinch, depending on how salty your butter is.
Add in the butter then microwave on high for 45 seconds.
Take out the measuring cup and whisk until smooth, making sure there are no lumps.
Let it sit for a few minutes then pour it over your creation.
