Having previously played at C.D. Guadalajara's and Tigres UANL's youth academy teams, Salcedo joined Major League Soccer (MLS) club Real Salt Lake's academy in January 2012. In August of the same year he began training with the first-team squad.{{Cite web|url=https://www.mlssoccer.com/players/carlos-salcedo|title=Carlos Salcedo|last=|first=|date=|website=Mlssoccer.com|access-date=}} Salcedo signed a home grown player contract with Salt Lake in January 2013, having met the minimum requirement to be defined as "home grown" of one year academy training.{{cite web|title=The Rise And Rise Of Carlos Salcedo|url=https://the18.com/news/rise-and-rise-carlos-salcedo|work=The18.com|first=Connor|last=Fleming|date=23 August 2016}}

On 4 May 2013, Salcedo made his professional MLS debut for Real Salt Lake as a substitute against Vancouver Whitecaps, ending in a 2–0 win entering as a substitute in the 89th minute.{{Cite web |url=http://www.mlssoccer.com/matchcenter/2013-05-08-NE-v-RSL/stats |title=New England Revolution vs Real Salt Lake 05-09-2013 - Stats | MLSsoccer.com |access-date=9 May 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140117234033/http://www.mlssoccer.com/matchcenter/2013-05-08-NE-v-RSL/stats |archive-date=17 January 2014 |url-status=dead |df=dmy-all }} In the second half of the 2013 season he was a regular starter for Salt Lake starting 12 games by season's end.
