I do a chicken pizza using tzatziki as the base sauce instead of tomato. Initially I was going to have it on top, but decided to go nuts. With the other Mediterranean ingredients on it, goes deliciously.

Wijko satΓ© sauce. It goes with almost anything. I'll have no shame in it. My Asian partner does.
This oneβs a bit of a preference and not much an ingredient, but a topping. I tend to put molasses on pancakes over syrup or honey. I still occasionally use maple syrup or honey, but I love the bitterness of molasses.
On the topic of syrup, I put maple syrup in coffee instead of just sugar! The "earthiness" of the maple syrup goes really well with coffee.
(I do it with cold brew so I honestly don't know how it is with hot coffee.)

Soy sauce makes everything better. If there is some kind of sauce or broth just add a little bit. The extra salt and umami flavor elevate everything. Doesn't matter the cuisine. It goes great in burgers

Ground fennel seed.
People use it for chicken, fish and broth and it's great in all of them but it realy shines in salads.
I used to be just like you, not really liking salads. They were always just a side dish or something to eat when I wanted to be "healthy". But that changed when I started adding fennel seed.
Now, whenever I make salad I start by adding a ton of FS, think "shit, I added too much", sit down to eat it only to get back up amd add more.

I find a lot of dishes are just better with oregano.
Worcestershire sauce in tuna. It is delicious.
Balance acidity, that's pretty much how to make every sauce delicious. Per OP's suggestion, that free glutamate punch also helps.
When I make quesadillas, I put a thin layer of this really good chipotle sauce on the tortilla before I start adding the ingredients. Plus, butter for browning the tortilla always trumps cooking spray. Finally, when browning the meat, thereβs a sweet and spicy sauce Iβll put in the pan along with some honey to finish browning the meat. Adds a layer of sticky goodness.
