filtration
The others, while possible, are not practible.
Decamting is a possibility, just pour off the salt water. However, getting all the moisture off the iodine would be tricky.
A mixture of iodine solid and sodium chloride ( Hint: iodine is not soluble in water)
What method(s) can I use to separate the mixtures?
Filtration
Evaporation
Centrifugation
Decant
Magnetic attraction
Paper chromatography
Distillation

Can you use filtration? centrifugation? decantation?
filtration is the only possible method.
I disagree that filtration is the ONLY possible method. That may be the best; it even may be the quickest, but I don't think is the the only method. I could decant and dump the I2 crystals onto a paper towel to soak up the water. Or centrifuge and dry the same way. Presto.
If we worry about the small amount of NaCl that might be on the I2 crystals, we could wash the I2 once (or more if needed) and dump onto paper.
