When sodium chloride (salt) is dissolved into liquid water, the salte becomes a solute in a salt water solution. Salt cannot dissolve as a solute into water vapor - the nature of water vapor does not allow it to be a suitable sovent to sodium chloride.
Therefore, when sea water evaporates, it leaves the salt behind - in the ocean - because the water vapor is incapable of holding the salt in solution.
Because when salty water is evaporated, the salt is left behind and is not part of the water vapor in the air.
