Correcting front wheel "dishing"

After fitting a set of parallel-push Shimano V brakes to my tourer, I discovered that the front wheel is offset to the left a couple mm. I had been using cantis and fenders until then and this flaw (my mistake) had remained completely unnoticed since this has produced no effect on handling or brake pad wear.
To correct, this should I start from scratch and redo the wheel or is it possible to center the rim by undoing tension on one side and tightening the spokes on the other? Or should I leave it alone? Thanks.
