I think salt evaporates. How come theres salt on my filters when its out of the water?? And i check my saltinity and the salt goes down :notsure:

Try 5 gallons every other day. A Specific Gravity of 1.030 isn't all that high so there's no need to panic.
That fish list looks great for a 55 but be sure to add the fish over time, not all at once.

If your salinity is perfect, you top off the evaporated water with regular RO or RO/DI water minus the salt. If you need to add salt (such as losing salt due to water changes, which is where one would commonly lose salt) then you mix up the salt and add it for topping off.
I use 5 gallon water bottles that come from a water bottling company. Some are labeled salted water, some are not.
The ones that I add salt to, are for when I need to add salt to my tanks, the others just have RO water in it for top offs.
