Having teed up Alexis Mac Allister's opener at Anfield, Salah scored Liverpool's second to seal a 2-0 win in the Champions League onꦓ Wednesday.
In the process, Salah became the first Liverpool player to score in five consecutive home gamﷺes in the European Cupꦯ/Champions League.
He is only the third player to score in five consecutive Champions League home games for a Premier League side, after Thierry Henry with Arsenal (seven) and Ruud van Nistelrooy with Manchester United (six).
"Before [l👍ast week's EFL Cup win over West Ham], Mo played three 🐻games without scoring a goal," said Slot.
"So it is in football, it can happen that sometimes in three g𝐆ames, you score one or yo𝐆u don't score.
"But these players, like♏ Mo, they will alw🌠ays score their goals if you just keep playing them."
Salah's contract expires at the end of this season and he has said this will be his last season at Anfi✃eld.
"Mo has done really well🅺 today, and I'm happy with the way he does at the moment, and I'm not looking forward to next season," Slot added.
The 46-year-old Dutchman, who replaced Jurgen Klopp, has become Liverpool's first head coach to win eight of their first ꦑnine games across all competitions.
His team have won their opening two in the Champions League to sit fifth in the 36-team table. They also top the Premier Leaguꦚe.
Slot said: "I don't draw many conclusions from that, but it's nice. So many incredible managers🍨 have worked hereജ, doing so many special things.
"The only thing is I hope it is not the only thing people remember me for in two or three years or however long I am here. If all they say is, 'that's the ma♛nager who won eig🅺ht out of nine!'
"I'♔m hoping to do more special things than just win eight out of my first nine games.
"It also says how I have been left this club🍌 – the work rate the players put in, h𒆙ow the staff are helping me get these results."
