Microwaving raw fish is actually an effective way to steam-cook them without a steamer. I've been doing this my entire life, though with soy sauce, ginger, and green onion instead of olive oil and lemon.
It's actually quite similar if you prevent the moisture from escaping.
That's why they literally sell bags of frozen vegetables that they recommend you just stick straight into microwave without opening them because it steams them inside. Quite literally.
