It will not be out completely, but it helps doing the following
first cut two lemons in half and take them to a boil. Let them boil for 5 mins and then grab the pan and walk around the kitchen spreading the steam from the lemon boiling all around. If necessary repeat this procedure 2 or 3 times. Then open every window and let air flow.

The lemon boiling also helps to eliminate other odors after cooking.

lol I made some really fishy smelling fish for dinner last night, and the house stunk! It happened to be an exceptionally windy/cool night so I just opened a couple of windows. Insense works great too. My house never smells the next day.

How to rid home of unpleasant odors
Baking soda, vineagar, lemon juice, rudding alcohol and even cat litter will help rid your home of many unpleasant odors. The best way to keep a house smelling fresh is to keep it clean. Air rooms, closets and drawers regularly. Use disinfectants such as chlorine bleach to prevent mildew and garbage smell.

* To rid books of musty odor, store them for a few days in a paper bag filled with crumpled newspaper. The newspaper will absorb the smell. Repeat several times with fresh newspaper until the odor is completely gone.
* To deodorize a musty trunk, pour cat litter in a large, uncovered coffee can, set in the trunk and close the trunk lid. The next day, the odor will be gone.
* Cat litter can eliminate garbage odors, too. Sprinkle litter in the bottom of a garbage can to keep it smelling fresh. Change it every week or whenever the can gets damp.
* Concrete absorbs odors. A concrete floor soaked with pet urine can have a terrible smell that permeates a house. To deodorize it, scrub it with a solution of half white vinegar and half water. Or put undiluted denatured alcohol in a spray bottle. Spray floor thoroughly.
* For a severe pet urine smell, use a commercial pet odor remover, available at pet stores. If a slight odor lingers even after this treatment, seal the problem area with two coats of shellac.
* To remove a musty odor, sprinkle a hard basement floor with chlorinated lime bleaching powder, available at hardware stores. Once the odor is gone, sweep the powder into a plastic bag, tie the bag and dispose of it. Avoid getting the powder in contact with your skin; wear vinyl gloves.
* The smell of mothballs can linger in an enclosed space for months. Restore a fresh scent by scrubbing the space with a mixture of equal parts of white vinegar or lemon juice and rubbing alcohol. Repeat the procedure if the scent remains.
* To get rid of strong cooking odors, simmer white vinegar in a pan on stove.
* To remove fish, garlic and onion odors, wash utensils, pans, cutting boards and even your hands in lemon juice.
* Remove odors and spills inside the refrigerator or freezer using a cloth wrung out in a solution of 2 tablespoons of baking soda to 1 quart of warm water. To keep a refrigerator or freezer odor-free, spread baking soda on a small dish and place it on a shelf.
* Eliminate odor from your garbage disposal by grinding cut-up orange, grapefruit or lemon rinds while flushing the unit with hot water.

I use a air cleaner with a hepa filter in my kitchen. Opening a window while cooking will help. I always cook with the exhaust fan running too.
