After the masterclass with Master Chef Marco Pierre White, where he cooked us steak in Knorr Beef stock cube and served it with a creamy three peppercorn sauce – I was hooked onto the taste of the Knorr three peppercorn flavour pot. This mix of 3 peppercorns will add a depth of flavour to your dishes. Whether used in a straightforward steak sauce or a luxury pork stroganoff, this little pot will instantly add a touch of indulgence to your meal.
Unilever has agreed to Giveaway TWO lucky winners a chance to WIN one of TWO goody bags PACKED to the brim with Knorr flavour pots and stock cubes. These stock pots have been created by Chef Cameron Healy who is part of a team of dedicated professional chefs, based at Knorr Headquarters, who work together to develop Knorr’s culinary creations, with good food, convenience and innovation as the main thought process behind these products.
As you know by now I love seafood and I simply cannot resist buying fresh fish. Last week on my way home from work I saw fresh herring at the supermarket and just had to bring home some for dinner. I wanted a very light quick and easy fish dish which I could have with a heavy creamy soup so I rustled up this easy baked fish. Since we were already going to consume a creamy soup I wanted to avoid using single cream to make any gravy sauce.
This baked fish recipe is a super quick and easy meal idea with very few ingredients and makes for a delicious meal. Served with a fresh leafy baby kale and cherry tomato salad it makes a refreshingly light choice. No oil is used in this dish and though the butter is 2 tbsp it is the only thing that you will add other than the flavour pot. Besides Herring are very high in the long-chain Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, they are also a source of vitamin D.
A low – calorie meal for two readies in under 25 minutes – can it get any better? Think not!
I have used the Knorr three peppercorn flavour pot that was in my goody bag which all loggers received at the end of a day packed with masterclasses spent at the Unilever headquarter in the U.K at Leatherhead.
If you love cooking with the flavour of fresh herbs and spices, but prefer the convenience of dried, Knorr flavour pots allow you to create delicious meals infused with aromatic and fresh flavours in no time at all AND with the very same convenience that dried products offer.
Knorr three peppercorn Baked fish recipe
Serves: 2
Ingredients:
- 2 whole herrings fresh – with the head and tail removed.
- Smoked sea salt
- 1 and half Knorr three peppercorn flavour pots
- 1 large red onion finely chopped
- 2 heaped tbsp butter
- 1 bay leaf
- 3- 4 cloves of garlic finely chopped
Method:
- Pre-Heat the oven to 180 °C. Keep the butter out so that it is not straight from the fridge
- Wash the herring fish under running tap water. I asked the fishmonger to slit it through the middle and clean it from inside for me after removing the head and the tail.
- Place the fish on baking parchment in a baking tray and sprinkle liberally with Maldon smoked sea salt.
- Wrap the parchment to make a neat parcel.
- Bake the fish in the oven for 20 minutes at 180 °C.
- Meanwhile, heat a heavy-bottom pan on medium heat.
- When the pan is at add 2 heaped tbsp of butter.
- Add in the bay leaf and then finely chopped onion and finely chopped garlic with skins. Then add in the Knorr three peppercorn flavour pots and cook until the onion has gone soft.
- Once the fish has been baked, remove from the oven and allow for the steam to escape.
- When you can hold the fish in your hand without scalding remove the skin which should come of pretty easily and remove the bone, it comes straight off which is great, one clean sweep. Don’t worry if the fish falls apart, it will still taste amazing!
- Plate each fish onto 2 plates.
- Place the onion onto the fish and serve with baby kale and chopped cherry tomatoes. If you wish to sprinkle some sea salt on the salad leaves.

We use these Knorr pots all the time, they are fab! I love the idea of using them for fish, I love fish, but my husband is not a fan, so I like simple fast recipes I can do for myself when he is out.
So true Clare they really are fab what I love about Knorr are the new flavour pots they are simply marvellous and yes hubster and me are both nuts about fish! Thanks for stopping by x
Ooh I love seafood too, and the dish you created looks really yummy and so healthy! These look like they’d be handy to have around for quick and easy meals.
Hi, Sian so glad you love seafood too, yes this is uber-healthy as it hardly has anything that will make you guilty yet is loaded with Knorr flavours. I love quick easy and delicious meals! Thanks for stopping by
Hard to choose a favourite herb, we grow lots and I use copious quantities of them all. But if I had to stick to just one for the rest of my life, it would probably be oregano. My Facebook name is Jane Willis and my instagram name lapsapchung
My favourite herb is tarragon because when I use it in a dish it gives it the ‘wow’ needed. Facebook name is Maya Russell. Don’t have Instagram.
love to use a wide variety of herbs, but love using Basil, as I just love the flavour and smell,
