It's a cruel way to kill a snail, and why would you want to. If you are trying to protect plants they are eating in your garden just put crushed egg shells around the base of the plant, the snails don't like this as their skin is very sensitive. Putting salt on them, must be extremely painful, it would be like pouring salt into an open wound for a human!
