Step 1: Prepare for Battle
Put on your best "I'm a functioning member of society" face, as this will be a delicate operation. Ensure you have all necessary fish-related gear, including a microwave, a fish, and a fire extinguisher (just in case).
Place the fish in a microwave-safe vessel, making sure it's securely fastened with toothpicks and a few well-placed Post-it notes to prevent it from making a break for it.
Place the vessel in the microwave and set the timer for 3-5 minutes, depending on the fish's resistance to radiation and your personal sense of adventure.
When the microwave starts beeping, swiftly press the "Stop" button while simultaneously pressing the "Surrender" button on the fire extinguisher, thus silencing the alarm and saving the fish from certain doom.
Remove the fish from the microwave, admire your handiwork, and take a moment to appreciate the delicate dance of microwaving a fish without setting off the alarm. Share this triumph with friends and family, but not before taking a selfie with the fish, as this may cause an existential crisis.
