My "emergency" salt fix is chicken or beef broth from the store.  I pour a whole can into a mug, heat it and drink it.  You can always make your own ahead of time and freeze it, as long as you add a lot of salt.  In the food category, soup is excellent.  Deli meat is high sodium, but then there are also all the preservatives.  If you can find an "old fashioned" butcher/deli shop that salts but doesn't use preservatives, that's good.  Sometimes you can find a salty hummus dip.  Arby's roast beef is the healthiest salty fast food I've found.  Some spaghetti sauces are a good way to add salt to non-salty food.  Saltines and pretzels are good low-cal salty snacks, but different brands have very different amounts of salt.  Rold Gold is the saltiest pretzel around here, and Nabisco saltines can have up to twice as much salt as the store brands.  A lot of fruit tastes fantastic salted; melons and peaches are my favorites.  Lastly, you can usually mix more salt into peanut butter (high fat, I know).  When adding salt, I prefer to use pickling, canning, or kosher salt.  The table salt gives things a very odd taste when there's a lot of it.  Of course, you still have to use some table salt to get enough iodine.

Claussen Kosher Dill Pickles.  (Yes, I have a favorite brand.  Hey, when you have to eat as much salt as we do, you start to develop preferences.)

I keep vegetable bouillon cubes or powder in the cabinet, and even add extra salt when I make it.  Like AireScottie said with beef or chicken broth, I just heat and drink, or pour over rice for something slightly more filling.

Amy's is the brand name of a line of frozen dinners/pizzas that are organic, vegetarian, (some available dairy free as well) but still pretty salty if you want to have your pot pie and eat it too.  ;-)

If you look in the organic section of the grocery store, you can also find quite a few soups that are free of mystery additives but still loaded with salt.  

Soy sauce is LOADED with salt.  I'd say the healthfulness of soy sauce is questionable at best, but it can be used as a condiment on lots of healthy things like edamame or brown rice or fresh sushi or ...

I started this a while back and have not had a chance to finish it, but it does give actual numbers:
