unless you completely tore up the filter you should just be able to let it dry.

You probably sucked in a little bit of moisture from the filter into the MAF meter, thus causing the CEL. As nuke said, remove the filter and let it air dry for a while and reinstall. The CEL should go away.

Edit: I guess you don't necessarily have to remove the filter, but I would think it would dry quicker by removing it and sitting it in direct sunlight or something.
