Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan with butter or use nonstick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flaked salmon, eggs, breadcrumbs, and milk. Mix well to create a cohesive mixture.
Add the finely chopped onion, celery, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix thoroughly, ensuring all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Transfer the salmon mixture into the prepared loaf pan and press it down gently to form an even top.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the loaf is set.
Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes.
Carefully invert the loaf onto a serving platter or slice directly from the pan. Serve warm with a side salad, steamed vegetables, or your favorite sauce.
