You see this often for yakiniku. What is the best way to translate it? I need it to be as short as possible. Thanks!

salt sauce

Explanation:
How about "salt sauce", not "salty sauce"? I think it's simple and apparent.

塩ダレ Dipping salt

Explanation:
Yes this is a kind of stuff we know as Korean yakiniku dishes.
My answer is based on the fact that translation for "tare" (inflected as "dare" due to Japanese custom) is "dipping". For instance tempura has a sauce and this is a dipping. Gyouza has tare which is a dipping also.
I cannot think of dipping example in Western cuisine as most of them uses condiment such as catup, mastard, salt & pepper, stuff like that.
In any event 塩ダレ is a type of dipping.
Hope this helps.

Because there is no such thing (I guess) in English food environment, you may still need to explain what it is. My translation is based on common English ¥"dipping sauce¥".
