First make sure the axle is seated properly in the dropouts. It's usually necessary to have the bike with wheels on the ground with the full weight of the bike on the wheels when the quick release is closed or the axle nuts tightened.
To check for dish reverse the wheel on the bike or on a truing stand. If the rim moves over to the other side then it is out-of-dish. Proper dish means that the rim is centered between the dropouts, seat stays, and chain stays. In other words, the rim should be aligned with the center plane of the frame.
