Sealing a gap around an exterior door

We got our front door replaced and there's a 1/2" gap between the siding and the frame. Is there a way to handle this that doesn't involve replacing all the siding? My gut instinct is to fill it with sealant and then face that with PVC trim strip. I also considered expanding foam + sealant + trim, which could work, though the gap isn't very deep. https://preview.redd.it/orbqvhh1opme1.jpg?width=1576&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=359dcff1dae5705ad0734ebb5acd43db2fe4dcde submitted by /u/blanco_nino_01 [link] [comments]
