Yes, using evaporation.

Saltwater is a solution of salt (sodium chloride) dissolved in water, and it can be separated by evaporation. When the water evaporates, the salt remains behind as a solid. Other methods, such as distillation, can also be used to separate salt from water. However, using a strainer would not work since the salt is dissolved in the water and cannot be separated this way.
