Avocado Dragon Roll with Tobiko
Inside-out rolls filled with creamy crab salad get a scaly jacket of paper-thin avocado slices, then a dab of glistening orange tobiko. Black sesame seeds and a drizzle of eel sauce complete this showstopper from the sushi bar.
Cook this tonightUse an avocado that is ripe but still firm; overly soft slices smear when you press them around the roll with plastic wrap.

Notes from the pass

Hosting a Relaxed Dinner Without Losing the Evening
The best dinner parties are rarely the most elaborate. Plan a menu that mostly cooks itself, set the table to share, and you will actually get to sit down with your guests.
