Somethin’ to Finish With – Sumac & Onion Finishing Salt

Bring brightness, savory depth, and subtle complexity to every bite with Somethin’ to Finish With – Sumac & Onion Finishing Salt. Crafted from crunchy kosher flakes, tangy sumac, and sweet savory onion, this finishing salt delivers citrusy-tangy lift up front with a rich, mellow onion undertone that lingers just long enough to keep you reaching for more.

Unlike a rub that’s meant for the cook, this blend is formulated to be sprinkled *after* cooking — capturing full aromatics and flavor intensity without masking the food you’ve already worked to perfection. 

The result is a seasoning finish that feels both chef-level and everyday friendly. Use it to brighten grilled steaks, roasted chicken, sautéed shrimp, or slow-smoked pork. It also makes a game-changing finish on roasted vegetables, salads, rice bowls, and hummus — wherever you want that dash of citrus acidity paired with savory complexity. Because it’s a finishing salt, the sumac stays vibrant and the onion stays sweet, giving your plate clean aromatics rather than heat-muted dust.

This finishing salt is for cooks who love layered flavor with a fresh edge — the sort of seasoning that turns good food into unforgettable food without extra work. It’s equally at home on a weeknight dinner or your next barbecue spread, offering an unexpected twist on classic savory notes and enhancing rather than competing with the flavors you’ve already built.

How to use it: Start with a pinch per serving (about 1/8–1/4 tsp), sprinkle after cooking, and rest 30–60 seconds so the flakes can melt in and the sumac and onion can bloom. For larger cuts, use about 1/2 tsp per pound of cooked meat on the carving board, then slice. Best paired with Somethin’ For Rubbin’ or Somethin’ To The Point.

FAQ

What is a finishing salt?

A finishing salt is added after cooking to season the surface, add texture, and preserve delicate aromatics like sumac and onion.

How is this different from a barbecue rub?

Rubs are designed for seasoning before and during cooking, while finishing salts are added at the end to keep brightness and aromatics intact.

When should I add Sumac & Onion Finish With?

Sprinkle right before serving — either on the plate, on the cutting board, or directly over food that has just come off the heat.

Can I cook with this salt?

It can be used during cooking, but you’ll get the most vibrant sumac and onion flavor by adding it after cooking.

Is this gluten-free and vegan?

Yes — it’s a clean blend of kosher salt, sumac, and onion with no fillers, gluten, or animal-derived ingredients.
