Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Rinse the trout under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, lemon zest, and half of the lemon juice.
Rub the garlic-paprika mixture over the trout, ensuring the inside cavity is also coated. Season the fish with sea salt and black pepper.
In a large baking dish, arrange the halved baby potatoes, sliced red onion, and bell peppers. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, the white wine, and the remaining lemon juice. Add the bay leaves and gently toss to combine.
Place the seasoned trout on top of the vegetables in the baking dish.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, remove the aluminum foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the trout is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
Sprinkle the baked trout and vegetables with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve hot with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
