Now meat cooking, oil splattering everywhere? That’s icky.
YES, it is. The smell of any kind of meat cooking is nauseating, especially sausage, lamb, bacon, beef, LIVER. I'm amazed when I read here what some people eat.

@TeezNu Like you, I don't smell anything offensive until the next day and especially when coming in from outdoors. Thank you for the Febreeze idea.

Thank you all for your thoughts and recommendations. I have been cooking and enjoying brussel sprouts and will use your suggestions.

As for removing the odors, you could try opening windows on all sides of house for cross ventilation which would clear it out. And keep doors to all other rooms shut to keep it from going there in the first place. I do this automatically if I fry things so the frying odors do not get into bedrooms & clothes.
I cook fish and it sure does linger in the air. It's one of the harder to get rid of smells.

I haven't used this but activated charcoal supposedly helps with odors.

My mom always used a vanilla candle, vinegar in a bowl (which was previously mentioned), or she would burn string. She would cut a piece, light both ends and hang it over the kitchen faucet over the sink. It was heavy duty string and it would burn for a while. I tried it once with the kitchen string I had. I laid the piece over the faucet, lit both ends and it burned up in about 5 seconds. Took care of the yucky smell I had tho! LOL

I do agree that overcooking is the culprit.

as @ECBG mentioned I use an air purifier that I will move into the kitchen when I have cooked salmon. I also open the window just a bit in the door and turn on the overhead fan and direct a little fan I keep in the kitchen toward it.
