Pure water can dissolve pretty much anything, at least to some degree (this degree may be vanishingly small for some materials, in which case we say they're insoluble in water).

Lipids generally dissolve pretty well in water by forming micelles (like tiny bubbles, with the polar end out and the non-polar end pointed in).

How does the amount of dissolved salt in water affect how much heat it ca hold?

The amount of dissolved salt in water affects its heat capacity - the ability to hold heat. Generally, higher salt content in water lowers its specific heat capacity, meaning it can hold less heat compared to pure water. This is due to the presence of salt ions interfering with the water molecules' ability to store heat energy.
