First of all, a tequila slammer doesn't involve salt or lime at all. A tequila slammer is a cocktail consisting of half 7-up(or another carbonated beverage) and tequila, this is slammed on the counter-top to cause fizzing, and, in theory, get you drunker.
But, for a shot of tequila, which I'm assuming you mean, the order is salt, tequila, lime, or lemon can be a substitute. Though, good tasting tequila is ruined by that "ritual", it's to make low-quality tequila taste bearable.

Lick thumb.
Pour salt over licked thumb.
Lick salt off thumb.
Down tequila.
Suck lemon.
Gag.

Tequila is my nemisis, had a bad expierence on it and spent the night puking and dry retching (I think pretty much everyone has one spirit that causes this), Anyway if I drink it my body automatically rejects it and I just heave it back up. So needless to say I avoid the stuff.

Salt first. Easy way to remember this is the fact that a margarita cocktail will have salt applied to the rim of the glass, hence this is the first thing you taste before you sip the drink.

Tequila is revolting by the way.
