Rinse it down with a lot of fresh water. Don't think about it, just do it.
Not bike related but my brother ran his RC monster truck into some brackish water (about 50/50 sea/fresh water) and his exposed metal parts all started to rust almost right away.

Seawater corrosion is a big concern up here in the NorthEast with cars and bikes... I live less than a mile from the coast and you can smell the salt in the air most days; treat it seriously if you love or even like your bike. Salt water, even salt air is a killer of beloved metal objects. Wash it, wash it, wash it 😉

Sneak it into the shower stall at 3:00am? Hell, if it used to work with my ex-wife, it ought to work for a bike!:p

Bring it to a gas station and use their water hose.
