What plants can adapt to a tank with aquarium salt?
I have mollies in the tank and I wanted to turn it into a planted tank.

Mollies need a marine mix, not "aquarium salt" to make their tank brackish. Java moss and Java fern tolerate a slightly brackish aquarium. If you make it completely or nearly full saltwater, you can grow macroalgae such as Caulerpa species and others.
However mollies are plant eaters. They don't stop just at eating algae. You may find any plants you keep with them look worn down and picked at, even the Java fern (your best bet) which has a bad "taste" that discourages herbivores.
