Thermodynamics can't be cheated. If you want to turn some liquid into gas at given pressure you need to deliver specific amount of energy regardless of how you do it.

However, you also need to turn the same amount of gas back into liquid, just somewhere else without the salt. It does seem like there's good potential for recovering and reusing that energy.
