Can you make a little less noise, please? I'm trying to work. In answer to your question making a request using the verb can is not ungrammatical nor uncommon. As JonMark pointed out, responding to such a request with yes or no can come across as pedantic or annoying. On the one hand, I agree that might be the case , for example when you answer that on a test when expected to solve some equations or give an explanation. On the other hand, in the example sentences by Cambridge Dictionary, yes is an appropriate response to indicate you will tell Brett or will be more quiet, respectively. Therefore, as with many things, context is key. Respond when and how you think is appropriate in the situation you find yourself in. Obviously, in your example your interlocutor is requesting the salt. Yes is an appropriate response provided you give it to them. Similarly, no, I can't right now, I have my hands full is also appropriate when you aren't able to hand it to them.
