Umami flavor - soy sauce, fish sauce, MSG, tomatoes, mushrooms, etc.
A touch of acid at the end for seafood, soups, gumbos, etc.
Learn to season so that it enhances the dish, but the seasoning is low enough that it is not identifiable to the taster.
ETA: I think it helps to have a little touch of all the taste sensations in a dish. Sweet, savory, sour, bitter and salt. See above. It needs to be subtle.

balsamic vinegar
Or any vinegar.
I use balsamic, malt, tarragon, cider, red wine and champagne but I use plain white most often. A capful or bit of a splash wakes up a lot of dishes.

Salt, knowing how to season properly can make all of the difference in the world. Not too little & not too much. Just enough to accentuate the natural flavors and enhance the taste of your food.
Too many people are afraid to use the amount of salt that is required to properly season their food.

+1 on acid....lime, lemon, various vinegars, pepper sauce: esp rich and heavy dishes benefit from the brightness and contrast provided by a little acidity.

Worcestershire sauce.

For pastas or salads, we have a bottle of balsalmic vinegar that we got from Modena, and it enhances any dish immediately.

I like this answer. You don't become a great cook overnight. It takes time, trials and tribulations to make a recipe come to life and it is extra special if you put your own stamp on it.
