Travis Head's superb knock of 59 from just 23 balls, whi♛ch included plund🍒ering 30 from a single over, set Australia on their way.
England fought back with the ♔ball, though, and were ultimately set a target of 180.
But big hitters Salt (20), Sam Curran (18) and Liam Livingstone (37) al🅺l went in quick succession as England failed to get going and lost by 28 runs.
"Everything wasꦡ good apart from the result," said Salt, who was standing in for the absent Jos Buttler.
"They played well. Heady came out 🧔swin🐼ging in the powerplay and gave them a head start.
"We were a couple of wickets too far down. Heady's done that for a couple of years, it's about hℱow do we shut that down?
";[But] good signs. T๊hey played well, we dragged it back, we should have chased it realistically. At times we could have taken partnerships dee𒅌per. But we've had a good look at them now."
Australia have won back-to-back T20Is against England for the first time since February 2018, as the hosts faileᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚd to win a third straight T20I at The Rose Bowl.
"It was a 🦄nice start. Nice to get under way," sa🙈id Head.
"To set a p🐻latform like that with the hitters we had behind us, it was nice to do the job."
Australia captain Mitchell Marsh added: "We certainly looked on course for 200 but did our best toಞ stuff it up, so it's nice to start the s𝓡eries with a win."
