You can substitute one of the following add-ins for the blueberries: raisins, dried cranberries, chocolate chips. Or make two kinds at once by dividing the batter between two bowls and adding 1/2 cup (125 mL) of different add-ins to each bowl.
Tail portions of salmon are perfect for this recipe, because they are wide and about equal thickness throughout. If using thicker centre-cut fillets, slice in half crosswise to make eight pieces and have two per sandwich. You may need a bit more cornmeal for this.
