The fishy smell of fish is due to the chemical trimethylamine or TMA. This chemical is hydrophobic, or in other words, is attracted to fats. The fats in milk therefore attract this fishy chemical (solubilizes it) helping remove it from the fish along with the oils. This is why fish known to be more oily are commonly soaked in milk as well.

When you bake fish with lemon and onions, the citric acid in the lemon can help mask the fishy smell and taste of the fish fat by breaking down some of the compounds responsible for the odor. The sulfur compounds in onions can also help neutralize fishy odors through chemical reactions, reducing the overall fishiness of the dish. The combination of these ingredients can lead to a more pleasant aroma and taste when cooking fish.
