Middle of the cabinet over the microwave, you will have to cut out the back of the cabinet to install the receptacle properly and drill a hole from the microwave up into the bottom of the cabinet. See microwave instructions.
Middle? Best on the right side as the exhaust vent runs through the middle.
Plus the cord is on the right.
Frequently the electrician will leave a whip for that---and use a remodeling box--or a surface mounted box----that's easier for the cabinet installation.
WHat type is it? If it mounts over the range, put the receptacle in the cabinet above the M/W. If it is a countertop unit with a trim kit, check where the vent is and keep it away from it. It does not have to be GFI protected either.
