Both words are derived from the Latin word salus meaning 'health'. Salubrious essentially means 'giving health' and hence also 'pleasant, agreeable'

(The Prince of Wales bestowed a polite eye upon her, then turned to the rather more salubrious prospect of his favourite savoury—A. Myers, 1992)

, whereas salutary means 'producing healthy effects' and hence 'beneficial', usually in an admonitory context in association with words such as effect, lesson, and reminder

(More generally comes a salutary warning that is well worth taking on board, that 'it is to the undying shame of the Scottish people that wild fish in Scotland are in a precarious state'—Scotland on Sunday, 2006).
