Combine the oats, salt, and water in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer on medium/low until the oats are tender and the oatmeal has thickened, about 5 minutes.
Add the strawberries when the oatmeal is almost done cooking. Allow the berries to warm in the oatmeal for just a minute and then remove from the heat and scoop into serving bowls.
Top with the sweetener of your choice and a drizzle of cream or milk.
