Step 1: Preparing the Eel

- Rinse the eel fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

- Season the eel fillets with salt and pepper.

- Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat.

- Place the seasoned eel fillets on the heated grill or broiler pan, skin side down.

- Cook for about 5 minutes on each side until the eel is cooked through and the skin becomes crispy.

- Keep an eye on the fillets to prevent burning. Adjust the cooking time accordingly.

- Remove the eel from the grill or broiler and let it cool for a few minutes.

Step 3: Assembling the Wrap

- Lay one sheet of nori shiny side down on a flat surface.

- Spread a thin layer of spicy mayo over the nori, leaving about 1/2 inch of space at the top and bottom edges.

- Place a layer of cooked sushi rice over the spicy mayo, leaving another 1/2 inch of space at the top edge.

- Arrange the sliced avocado, julienned cucumber, and carrot over the rice.

- Add the shredded or chopped eel on top of the vegetables.

- Roll the nori tightly from the bottom edge up, tucking in the filling as you go.

- Wet the top edge of the nori with water to seal the roll.

- Repeat the process until all the ingredients are used up.

Step 4: Cutting and Serving the Wrap
