It's a fish. In Chinese it's 罗非鱼 and in Ancient Egypt is was (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/extensions/wikihiero/img/hiero_K1.png?7a62b).https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilapia  :)

Used to do a variation of this when I didn't want to do dishes and wanted something to eat fairly quick.

Take a couple of paper plates, one on top of another, lay filet on them and put in the microwave. Cook about 1/2 done. Look at at the whiteness of the meat to determine when 1/2 cooked. Normally fish are partly translucent when raw. Fish will cook from edges inwards. So the white ring around the fish is that already cooked.

At 1/2 cooked remove filet from microwave. In a paper coffee cup, mix 2 or 3 tbs mayo, 1 tbs Parmesan cheese. Stir to mix, butter top side of filet, return to microwave to finish cooking.  Depending on the thickness of the fish, the whole filet should be cooked in a matter of 5 minutes or less depending on the wattage of the microwave and your altitude.

 Seems healthy. Not only, because there are lemons, fish, etc. This fish (tilapia) has very low levels of mercury (A source: https://www.sfos.uaf.edu/fitc/teaching/courses/fish336/materials/Wiki%20Aquaculture%20of%20Tilapia.pdf.) Very good.

The majority of Tilapia here is farm raised. Don't get to far into healthy as the fish are fed excrement as part of reducing feed costs though it's not widely known and the industry does it's best not to tell the public about it.
