The opposite of sugar coating but equally indirect and insincere. Contrary to popular belief, you can get your point across best by not being an asshole but not being too nice either. Salt coating doesn't make a statement any more true despite claims that it is a sign of honesty. Salt coating when criticizing someone often leaves them focused on the toxic garbage words instead of the main point unless they have a strong bullshit filter. Also known as destructive criticism.
Being Honest: I didn't like the dish. It's too sweet for me.
Result: Cook takes the constructive criticism into consideration and improves the dish by making it less sweet.
Salt Coating: A drunken autistic monkey can make a better dish than a worthless shit like you! You trying to give me diabetes?!
Result: Cook is distracted by the insults instead of improving the dish and spends the rest of the time arguing with salt coater.
