Bring to a boil, cover, reduce the heat, and simmer gently for about 10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily.

Meanwhile, slice the 4 hard-cooked eggs and the dill pickles.

Drain the cooked fish and allow it to cool, then cut it into bite-size cubes.

Prepare the dressing by blending the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, Dijon-style mustard, salt, and white pepper until smooth.
-
In a separate bowl, gently combine the fish cubes, sliced eggs, sliced pickles, and capers.
-
Divide the fish mixture among four individual serving dishes and spoon the dressing over each portion.

Chill for 30 minutes.

For the garnish, cut the remaining hard-cooked egg into eight wedges or pieces and chop or arrange the beet slices as desired.

Garnish each serving with egg and beet.

Serve chilled.
