A watt is a unit of power (Joules/second: energy / time). I guess it depends on what method you are using to get energy out of the water, as to how much energy is in it.

The energy content of a gallon of salt water would depend on the concentration of salt in the water. On average, seawater contains about 3.5% salt. Using this concentration, a gallon of salt water would contain very minimal energy in the form of trace amounts of potential thermal energy due to the dissolved salt. It would not be practical to extract energy from a gallon of salt water in this context.
