Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Rub the rainbow trout fillets with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, season with 0.5 teaspoon of salt, 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper, and the paprika. Set aside.
In a large skillet, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
Add the diced onions and celery to the skillet and sauté for 5 minutes, or until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic, fresh parsley, and thyme, and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the crumbled cornbread to the skillet and toss to combine with the vegetables.
Gently pour in the chicken or vegetable stock, stirring until the mixture is moistened but not soggy.
Transfer the cornbread stuffing mixture to a greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Place the seasoned rainbow trout fillets on top of the stuffing in the baking dish.
Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the trout and stuffing.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the trout is fully cooked and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with lemon wedges and serve warm.
