Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spray and line a standard metal 9×5 loaf pan with parchment paper with long ends overlapping pan so it can be lifted out easily.
Whisk the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and sugar together in a large bowl or a stand mixer. Beat in the egg, oil, and vanilla.
Fold in the banana and nuts until well combined. Turn into the pan; even out the batter.
Bake for about 1 hour, until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out with no wet batter clinging to it. Moist crumbs are fine.
Allow the bread to cool for 15 minutes in the pan. Remove to a rack to cool completely before frosting.
Frosting: Blend the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla with enough milk or cream to make the frosting spreadable. Spread over the top of the cooled bread. Sprinkle on chopped walnuts.
Slice and serve.
