Jesus mentioned salvation two times. Once to Zacchaeus:

Luke 19:9 And Jesus said to him, "Today salvation

has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham;

and once to the Samaritan woman:

John 4:22 You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation

is of the Jews.

Jesus didn't mention salvation a lot because salvation through His death as a sacrifice for sin was not available while He was alive.

Jesus came to earth primarily to the Jews to convict them of the way they had forsaken God and His ways. As it says in the verse above 'salvation is of the Jews'. So Jesus came to call the Jews to repentance but they on a whole rejected Him.

Many of the parables Jesus taught were directed at the Jews eg The prodigal son.
