Prepare Lemon Herb Greek Yogurt Sauce (recipe follows). Preheat grill. Combine mustard, 1 T olive oil and tamari. Place salmon upside-down in mixture, coating well. Grill skin-side down until it releases from the pan easily, approx. 4 min. Turn salmon over and grill until the internal temperature reaches 140° in the center and the fish flakes easily when gently pressed. Transfer to serving platter. Heat remaining olive oil and butter in a small skillet. Add garlic and cook over medium heat until soft and fragrant, approx. 2 min. Add chervil and pour over salmon fillets. Serve with yogurt sauce.
