From solution I expect you mean.

The really quickest way is to evaporate the solution off, and thus it will leave the salt crystals behind.

From this tests can be carried out to see what salt it is, these are tests for ions.

Such tests include a flame test. If the flame changes to yellow when the compound is burnt then it suggests the precense of sodium ions, lilac for potassium ions and so on.

You could also do a precipitation aswell as a test for chloride ions ect.
