Both would be the correct answers. Salt does not "boil off" except in bizzaro Jerry's kitchen. That is especially bizzar because Jerry never cooks!

Unsalted butter is used in baking so salt can be added precisely according to the recipe. Since you can not measure the salt in salted butter it's not used. For example: too much salt would lessen yeast reaction making bread not rise as much.

there is no difference when using either type of butter. bakers use un-salted butter a lot as there is usually salt added in baking recipes. it can also change things while baking as there is lot's of chemical/heat reactions happening.
