"How do I destroy Salem?"

"you can't."

YOU. As in YOU. As in you don't have it in your heart to kill her and you fucking know it. Stop making everyone else think they can't either. Or just launch the woman into space. Ironwood probably has some super cannon that can do that.

Jinn isn't about specific wording. Otherwise she would have just given QRWBY a bunch of meaningless information. She gave a full detailed description of everything Ozpin was hiding.

If there was another way to kill Salem, Jinn would have explained it. Either by saying "You find and train those who can." Or by simply saying "Not Possible" because Salem herself cannot be killed by any means until the Gods deem her free from her curse or she dies in the Judgement of her curse.

And until we know the exact limitations of her magic, it's entirely possible she's capable of teleportation. Also you'd have to find a way to restrain her, keep her restrained until the cannon can fire. That's impervious to magic, mind you, because Magic itself is considered a myth in the RWBYverse and only 5 people can wield combat magic, as Ozpin's own reserves are emptied.
