As soon as you take your fish out of the oven, grab a lemon. Using a peeler, cut large peels from the skin of the lemon.

Put them in a small dish. Place it in the still hot oven. Thanks to the heat of the oven, a pleasant lemony smell will emerge from the lemon peel.

The fresh and healthy scent of lemon will gradually spread through the oven and make the smell of fish disappear in the oven and then throughout the house.

2. For a microwave oven
